The Las Lajas micromill in the Central Valley region is cited as one of the most significant innovators in Costa Rican coffee and beyond. In 2005, Oscar and Francisca Chacón decided to open their own micromill. After two generations of selling their harvested cherries to a cooperative for market price, starting their own milling operation came with an intimidating learning curve. The Chacóns took to this challenge with a diligent, systematic approach, and it didn’t take long before they were producing some of the most distinctive coffees anywhere. Their drive to constantly improve their coffee has led them to develop eight honey and natural processing methods, each with its own unique drying technique to highlight the distinct qualities of the coffee grown on their farms.

This particular lot comes from their Los Ángeles farm and is naturally processed using their Perla Negra process, which takes about 22-30 days. After picking, the cherries are first dried in thin layers on raised beds for a week before they are moved to a protected greenhouse patio. The cool shade of the greenhouse patio extends the drying process, allowing more fermentation to take place within the cherry. They are carefully tended to during this time to ensure even drying and are turned twice a day for the full 3-4 week period. This slow, deliberate process allows for the development of more intense and complex flavors within the seed.

The extra effort and years of innovative processing are highlighted in this dynamic coffee. Its sharp and sweet acidity reminds us of a refreshing limeade on a summer day. Underneath lie subtle notes of tropical fruit and a pleasant milk chocolate finish. Like most coffees from Las Lajas, it is a punchy and unforgettable experience.
