Las Lajas is owned by Oscar Chacon Francisca Chacon, the farm is located at an altitude of 1550 meters. Las Lajas Farm, run by the Chacon family, is a certified organic farm in central Costa Rica. This is an organic farm, no pesticides. A university in the United States sends college students to learn about organic farming every year. Because pesticides are not applied, more expensive biotechnology is used to prevent diseases. The first solarization began in Costa Rica in 2000. There are two processing systems in their processing plant. One set of equipment is used for processing coffee fruits at home, because their coffee fruits are organic fruits and cannot be used with other coffee fruits. Another set of processing equipment is used to assist in the processing of surrounding farm agents.

Ras Lajas farms can not only be yellow dense, red dense, black dense treatment, Oscar is also constantly exploring new, special sun treatment methods. The Chacon family introduced Perla Negra (black pearl) treatment in order to increase sweetness, thickness and flavor. The coffee beans processed by this method are not very thick in flavor, but have the same thickness as cream, like cherry and perfume flavor. The farm also has a sunburn treatment called black soul. Black Soul is a sun-baked bean that helps farm agents process hard growing around. Black Soul's sunburn treatment method is relatively simple and direct. This year Ras Lahas developed Raisin raisin solarization. Raisins are sun-treated by combining the advantages of black pearls and black souls. The sugar content of the fruit will be reversed as much as possible, and the surface of the dried fruit will be crystal clear and shiny. It's like preserves.

Raisin Coffee Raisin Sun:

- In the afternoon of the same day, arrive at the treatment plant and peel directly

-5 days drying on African racks, turning every 2 hours

- Concrete floor in shade shed 10- 15 days:

Spread to a thickness of 15- 20cm. Cover with plastic after drying period every two hours during the day. After about two hours, the plastic sheet will be opened again when the plastic sheet has formed beads. Let the beans be exposed to fresh air for two hours, then cover them with plastic sheeting for another two hours. Then open and dry for two hours. After repeating this, pile it up at night and cover it with thick black plastic cloth.

- When the moisture content drops to 11%: bag and put into storage, all are not sealed above. After the coffee fruit cools down, seal it with GrainPro and plastic bag. During storage, the moisture content in the bag will naturally drop to 10.5%(cooling process will cause the external moisture and internal moisture of coffee fruit to move).
