Located in the central valley area at the foot of the Po á s de Alajuela volcano, Ras La Haas Manor has been operated by the owner Chac ó n family for more than 80 years. The estate is 1300m above sea level and has an annual output of about 46000 jin. During the annual production season of La Lajas Manor from December to February, the owner insists on harvesting only ripe and red fruits, and most of them use dense treatment and sun drying to enhance the sweetness and mellowness of the coffee, and at the same time, it is placed in the African shelf-type sunburn field to ensure that the coffee can evenly receive the sun and avoid excessive fermentation. At the same time, the manor has also actively obtained international organic certification, which has been certified by USDA of the United States, JAS of Japan and NOP of Japan.

Finca Las Lajas is located in Costa Rica's famous coffee producing area [Central Valley Central Valley], which belongs to the Paos volcanic mountains. Due to the local fertile soil and rich mineral content, it creates good conditions for high-quality coffee. The manor's reputation comes not only from its excellent coffee quality, but also from its insistence on organic ecological farming. Organic farming has been introduced since 1990, and it became the first organic certified coffee farm in Costa Rica in 2000. At present, it has been certified by three international organic organizations, namely USDA, JAS and NOP. Oscar Chacon, the third-generation manor operator, said that in addition to the great challenges in agricultural technology in promoting organic certification, what is even more serious is the economic pressure brought about by the sharp decline in production. In the third year of promotion, the annual output of the manor is even only 20%. All this does not affect the determination to promote organics. staying away from chemical fertilizers and pesticides can not only protect the sustainable development of the environment, but also take care of the health of coffee farmers.

"innovative tanning treatment-Black Soul"

The raw bean treatment of La La Haas Manor comprehensively adopts honey treatment and sun treatment, and develops characteristics different from other manors, in which honey treatment is divided into yellow honey, red honey and black honey according to the amount of pectin retained, and the sun is divided into two products: Pearl Negra and Alma Negra according to the degree of fermentation. Black pearl belongs to the flavor of strong fruit fermentation, and the black soul is partial to the tonality of sun-dried molasses. It is the most fashionable way to bask in the sun today, but it is two different amorous feelings!
