THE PRODUCER

Francisca and Oscar Chacon have long been leading the way in processing techniques that bring about sweet, fruit-forward cups of coffee. The coffee cherries are grown on multiple, unique farms in and around Sabanilla de Alajuela in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, and centrally processed at their Las Lajas Micro-Mill facility.

CITY

BRIGHT, MODERN,
FRUIT-FORWARD FLAVOURS.

Las Lajas Micro-Mill was an early pioneer of modern processing styles. Their fruit-filled “Alma Negra” natural sees cherries slow-dried inside their greenhouse for 2-3 days, then moved to raised beds during the day and returned to the greenhouse at night.

Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)

How to brew


We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.

For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.

Tasting notes


Almond and apple skin. Mellow spice and orchard mist. The autumn wind is keen.
