About the Manor
Among the exquisite sun and honey treatments currently quite popular in Costa Rica, Las Lajas Estate was one of the first estates to start systematic research and treatment, and has been a favorite coffee estate of global buyers for many years.
Las Lajas Estate is currently run by Francisca Cubillo, the third generation owner, and his wife Oscar. The estate is located in the Central Valley not far from the capital. It is quite close to Poas Volcano volcano. The altitude is between 1,250 and 1,500 meters. The annual output is about 55,200 kg.
Many years ago, the owner of the estate, Francesca, wanted to improve the flavor performance of the coffee on the estate. At that time, most coffee farmers in Costa Rica generally used the traditional washing method to supply the demand of the American and European markets. Therefore, the owner began to study and improve many equipment in the estate to better meet the needs of sun and honey processing coffee.
During the harvest phase, the farm uses a sweetness tester (BRIX) to screen the coffee red fruits that meet the standard, and at the same time sets up its own washing station for coffee treatment, and finally places them on African scaffolding for subsequent exposure.
In Las Lajas estate processing coffee, the estate owner honey treatment and sun treatment coffee by flavor performance into a variety of different categories, in the honey treatment method, Costa Rica farmers mostly through the washing station to control the amount of residual pulp, but Las Lajas estate decided to adopt another way, that is, to retain the highest proportion of pulp but control the exposure and stirring time on the African shelf to present different coffee flavor performance, In the honey process, the plantation owner divided coffee into yellow honey, red honey and black honey.
At the same time, the manor owner strictly requires all processes to be planted and fertilized according to organic standards. The whole manor uses organic self-made compost, and the organic standards are extended to include soil, shade trees and washing plant procedures. After many years of efforts, Las Lajas Estate has passed the Japanese JAS, the United States USDA and NOP organic certification.
