Las Lajas Diamond 2 Pack

Two rare microlots from our friends at Las Lajas in Costa Rica.Taste them side by side.

Las Lajas Black Diamond Natural 12oz
LIGHTER ROAST | Black Cherry | Dried Currant | Juicy Sweet
This year's lot is wonderfully complex with notes of black cherry & dried currant in a super juicy sweet cup. Our past roasts of Black Diamond have rated 95 points and earned a place on Coffee Review's list of the top coffees of the year.

Las Lajas Yellow Diamond Honey Anaerobic 12oz
LIGHTER ROAST | Mixed Berries | Melon | Caramelized Honey
This is our first lot of this rare process from Las Lajas, and our buyer's favorite new arrival. Yellow honey processing combined with anaerobic fermentation gives mixed berries, melon and caramelized honey, with a sweet, lingering finish that's clean rather than funky.

About the Farm

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.

Dona and Oscar of Las Lajas are 3rd generation coffee producers. 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.
