Brief introduction of Costa Rica:

Among the exquisite sun and honey treatments that are quite popular in Costa Rica, La Lajas Manor is one of the first estates to begin systematic research and treatment, and has been a favorite coffee farm for global buyers for many years. La Lajas Manor is now jointly run by the third-generation manor owner Francisca Cubillo and his wife Oscar. The estate is located in the Central Valley producing area (Central Valley), not far from the capital, quite close to the Poas Volcano volcano, with an annual output of about 55200 kg at an altitude of 1,250 Murray 1500 meters.

Many years ago, Francesca, the owner of the manor, had been hoping to improve the flavor of the coffee in the manor. at that time, the vast majority of coffee farmers in Costa Rica generally adopted the traditional washing method to meet the needs of the American and European markets. therefore, the manor owner began to study and improve a lot of equipment in the manor to better meet the needs of sun and honey-treated coffee. During the harvest stage, the landowner used the sweetness detector (BRIX) to screen the red fruits of coffee up to the standard, and set up his own washing treatment station for coffee treatment, and finally placed it on the African scaffolding for follow-up exposure.

Black honey treatment (Black Honey Processed) is currently the most complex and difficult method of raw bean treatment, of which the most special is the coating on coffee beans, 100% of the mucus that originally belongs to the flesh is completely retained, then it is fermented naturally, and finally in the process of sun drying, it absorbs the full energy of sunlight to create a sweeter, richer taste, like molasses.

Treatment method: black honey treatment (Black Honey Processed)

Flavor description:

Mango aroma, powder round, brown sugar, high sweetness!
