Story
Oscar and Francisca Chacón, third-generation coffee producers, own Las Lajas Micromill. They are committed to quality and innovation, and are among the pioneering farmers in Costa Rica who produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee.
This Black Honey microlot originates from Finca El Cerro. Honey coffee undergoes a depulping process to remove the skin of the cherry, leaving the coffee seed to dry with some or all of its sticky fruit mucilage intact. The intricate nature of different honey processes results in nuanced flavor characteristics in the beans.
Black Honey coffees are a labor-intensive process that demands constant monitoring. They are only turned once a day, leading to longer drying times. This extended drying process enhances the coffee’s bold fruit flavors and contributes to a fuller-bodied, syrupy depth compared to other honey processes.
