Perla Negra Hybrid 17 microlot from Las Lajas ultra-rare natural process coffee with high-Brix cherries, intense sweetness, and just 8 exclusive bags crafted for Torque. In partnership, with Francisca, for over 15+ years.

Perla Negra Natural Microlot

A special release from Francisca and Oscar of Las Lajas, this ultra limited microlot features their standout Hybrid 17 cultivar, selected for exceptional sweetness. Using only the highest Brix cherries from their top reserve, it’s processed with their signature Perla Negra natural method.

Only 8 bags were produced exclusively for us, making this one of the most limited and exciting coffees we’ve sourced from Las Lajas since 2009.

Las Lajas, based in Costa Rica’s Central Valley near Poás Volcano, is a pioneering, organic certified mill led by third generation producers Francisca Cubillo and Oscar Chacón. Their innovative Perla Negra process, born out of necessity after a 2009 earthquake, helped redefine natural processing in Costa Rica and beyond.

Story:

Beautiful Coffees with Radical Equity.

Proportional Pricing is ridiculously simple. Farmers get the first cut. Instead of letting the commodity green coffee market set a low floor price, Torque simply pre-pays coffee producers 20% of the retail price of our roasted coffee. The higher the price you pay the more they get paid. The transparent 20% ratio means both you and the farmers know exactly how much of the value they receive.
