The couple is committed to quality and innovation, and are among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2005, after years of delivering their cherry to a cooperative for the going market price, they decided to join the brand-new \"micromill revolution\" and buy their own depulper to have more control over the quality and the price they received for their lots. \"At first, we didn't know what we were doing,\" Oscar explains. \"We were just experimenting.\" That experimentation led to some of the most exciting new flavor profiles we have ever tasted: Now, the Chacons produce a wide range of Honey process coffees, modulating the drying time in order to create different effects in the cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNecessity bred more innovation for the family when an earthquake in 2008 wiped out electricity and water to their area during the harvest. Unable to run the depulpers or to wash the mucilage off to produce Washed lots, Francisca took inspiration from her knowledge of African coffee production and quickly built raised beds on the property. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLas Lajas owns and the following farms for cultivating their coffees: Calle Liles, Calle San Juan, Los Angeles, Los Pinitos, Sabana Redonda, Sabanilla, San Luis, Calle Lajas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Library Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250G","offer_id":67532099387562,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG","offer_id":67532099420330,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5KG","offer_id":67532099453098,"sku":null,"price":176.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/4069\/0496\/files\/LasLajas_46a7791c-f1c8-4416-856f-08e6e61ac344.jpg?v=1790642521","url":"https:\/\/librarycoffee.ca\/products\/las-lajas-costa-rica-2","provider":"LIBRARY COFFEE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
