Costa Rica Diamond Mountain Coffee Bean Origin History and Culture Introduction

There are eight Costa Rican producing areas, of which Tarazu, the Central Valley and the Western Valley are recognized as the three best producing areas. Las Lajas is located in the foothills of Sabanilla de Alajuela and Poas Volcano in the Central Valley. Strictly speaking, "Lajas" is actually the name of the Chakon family processing plant. The name of the manor is Finca La Mirella, but bean bakers all over the world are also used to calling it Finca las lajas.

All the coffee trees planted in Costa Rica are Arabica coffee trees. through improvement, the quality of coffee beans is better and more stable. in order to facilitate picking, coffee trees are kept at a height of about 2 meters through continuous pruning. The coffee that people eat is the taste of the seeds in the fruit that are brewed in water. After picking raw coffee beans, the seeds (that is, coffee beans) can be roasted only by peeling, pulp, seed film and sun exposure. Part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production increases a lot. However, there is no machine to do coffee picking, so you must use manual labor.

The natural treatment process of French Sika is quite laborious. The artificially picked high-sugar coffee fruit is first placed in an African viaduct in the sun for about 10 days, and then placed in a plastic-covered greenhouse to create more direct heat and continue to dry. until the water content reaches 11.5%. The slow drying process allows raw beans to develop more natural sweetness from the inside, but it also needs to be taken care of more carefully and constantly turned. In the end, the red cherries turn black, giving off the aroma of fruitcake, black sugar and even sherry. This is the "Perla Negra"!
