In the coffee processed by La Lajas Manor, the manor divides honey-treated and sunburned coffee into different items according to its flavor. Costa Rican farmers mostly control the amount of residual flesh through peeling machines at washing stations, but La Lajas decided to do it in a different way. In other words, the highest percentage of the pulp is retained but the exposure and turning time on the African scaffolding is controlled to show different coffee flavors. in the honey treatment, the manor divides the coffee into yellow honey, red honey and black honey.

Yellow honey treatment:

After removing the pericarp, the peel was placed on the African scaffolding in the early morning and turned immediately.

Red honey treatment:

After the peel was removed, the peel was placed on the African scaffolding in the early morning and exposed to the sun until after noon.

Black honey treatment:

After removing the peel, the peel was placed on the African scaffolding in the early morning and exposed to the sun until after the afternoon.

As for the rule of sun treatment, many more meticulous flavor expressions are treated by shading with plastic cloth.

Black Pearl:

The harvested red coffee fruit is placed on the African scaffolding in the early morning and regularly turned and exposed to the sun until the moisture content is 11.5%. The whole process takes about two weeks.

Black Soul:

The harvested red coffee fruits are placed on the African scaffolding in the early morning, and the whole process takes about three weeks to turn and expose regularly for one day and rest with plastic cloth until the moisture content is 11.5%.

At the same time, in the manor fertilization materials, the manor owner strictly requires that all processes should be planted and fertilized in accordance with organic standards, and the whole manor uses organic self-made compost. At the same time, the organic standard is extended to include soil quality, shade trees and washing plant procedures. After years of efforts, Ras Lajas Manor has passed the Japanese JAS, American USDA and NOP organic certification.
