ORIGIN

Third-generation producers Oscar and Francisca Chacón have taken coffee far beyond a family legacy. For them, it is both a deep passion and a constant source of innovation. Pioneers of honey and natural processing in Costa Rica, they have helped redefine the country’s quality standards. This lot comes from Finca Sabanilla and was processed at their Las Lajas mill, known for its experimental methods. For this honey process, the cherries are picked at peak ripeness, depulped, and then dried on raised beds for approximately seven days.
