🌟 Why is it worth trying?

1. Over 80 Years of Family Dedication

Las Lajas Estate, located at the foot of the Poas de Alajuela volcano, has been managed by the Chacon family for over eighty years. They uphold an almost uncompromising standard for quality: only fully ripened coffee cherries are harvested, ensuring that each green bean contains the richest essence.

2. Premium "Black Honey Processing" Technique

Black honey processing retains most of the sugars in the mucilage layer, a process that is extremely time-consuming and technically challenging. The estate specifically uses African drying beds to ensure even drying of the coffee beans under the sun, preventing over-fermentation, and thereby enhancing the coffee's body and brown sugar-like sweetness to the extreme.

3. Internationally Certified Pure Flavor

Beyond its outstanding taste, the estate actively pursues sustainable practices and has obtained international organic certifications such as USDA (USA), JAS (Japan), and WOP. This is your best choice to enjoy delicious coffee while supporting environmentally friendly farming.

💡 Fun Fact: What is "Black Honey Processing"?

Black honey processing is the highest grade of honey processing. Because it retains the most mucilage layer during drying, and the drying time is the longest and slowest, it results in the darkest color and most concentrated flavor. It delivers intense tropical fruit sweetness and a silky mouthfeel, perfect for those who love rich, sweet flavors!
