Chacon - Costa Rican Natural

This coffee is a one of a kind. We cupped it with the Chacon's at their micromill and immediately fell in love with it. It's chocolatey, with winey acidity and deep fruit notes. It's a Natural process, meaning the coffee cherry is left on the seeds during the drying process and the coffee is intentionally fermented.

The Chacon’s are the pioneers for innovative processing in Costa Rica. They own and operate the Las Lajas Micromill, where they process coffee in a multitude of ways. They began experimenting with processing after an earthquake dismantled their access to power and electricity, forcing for innovation. The Chacon’s continue to lead the industry in Honey and Natural processing, creating unique profiles and complex cups of coffee. Their coffee is a seasonal staple for us, and we have been fortunate to meet with them year after year.
