The new lot has arrived! This year we taste black cherry and dried currant with a juicy sweet finish. We've been buying special lots directly from our friends at Las Lajas since Jay first traveled to meet Dona Francisca and her husband Oscar Chacon and visit their world renowned farm and micromill in 2017. The word has gotten out about these pioneers in coffee - but we're lucky to secure some of their best and rarest lots every year. This is a fruit forward and floral coffee crafted for home pourovers & connoisseurs looking for an exceptional, naturally sweet & juicy cup.
Location: Las Lajas, Central Valley
Elevation: 1500 meters
Process:Natural
What is a the Black Diamond process? This is a natural aerobic process, where once the cherries are harvested, they are transferred to the mill for their classification, where only those with a high percentage of brix degrees are chosen. After this they are transferred to the greenhouse patio for their dehydration. During the first week the cherries are placed in a thick layer, in order to ferment aerobically. After this first week the coffee is spread in a thin layer until the drying process is finished. The drying time ranges for 20-30 days. The result is an exceptional, fruity, juicy cup with candy-like sweetness.
About the farm and producers Dona and Oscar of Las Lajas are 3rd generation coffeeproducers. They own and manage their micro mill, Las Lajas, and specialty coffee farms in different regions of the foothills of the Poas volcano in the Central Valley of Costa Rica.
Oscar Chacon’s grandparents started what is now Las Lajas in 1948. Over time, Oscar and Francisca inherited the farms and therefore became coffee producers. In 2000, they started processing coffee themselves at the Las Lajas mill, largely focusing on yellow, red and black honey processed coffee. However, on February 8, 2008, the Cinchona earthquake struck and significantly impacted the area. After a week without drinking water or electricity, they realized they needed to figure out how to process their harvest since they were unable to produce washed or honey coffee. Eventually, they decided to process the coffee naturally, resulting in their now famous natural processed microlots.

I know something about coffee...
I spent a good portion of my life in the coffee business. At one point, I owned five coffee houses. So, I think I know a thing or two about coffee. Magnolia's coffee is outstanding. Every type of coffee that I have tried is superior. Right now I'm pulling Cashmere blend through my espresso machine. It's wonderful. Good job, Magnolia! Expect more orders from the Florida town of Ave Maria!

3 Pack Medium Roast Coffee

Always Great
I loooove my Magnolia coffee. The quality and taste are so amazing for the price point. I love that my orders always come on time (or earlier than expected) and the timing of delivery is so easy to change! Best decision I ever made was signing up for my subscription!
Jade is easily one of my favorite coffees. It’s amazingly versatile it pulls an incredible, rich shot of espresso, but brewing it in a Chemex yields an exceptionally clean, sweet cup. Beautiful notes of smooth caramel, stone fruit, and dark chocolate without a trace of bitter or burnt flavors. Magnolia simply does not miss. ☕✌️
Another 5 star review. Perfectly roasted medium. Jade is great, but this Huehuetenango is even better as espresso. Love the fast, fast delivery - seems I'm always ordering last minute.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. There’s definitely a fairly strong fruity flavor- I’d say the ‘Jam, Kiwi, Peach’ description on the bag feels pretty accurate- but it’s not overwhelming (I do remember buying a type from Magnolia that was too fruity for me- I think this one ‘toes the line’ quite well- like fruity enough that there’s a very distinct flavor- it’s fun, it stands out, it tastes good- but doesn’t overdo it) But it’s also just smooth and there’s a certain light.. easy.. pleasant.. undemanding quality to it. I really quite enjoyed this one. Was glad I purchased it and tried it out. Brought me some good times, brought me some joy.
