Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. For the Chacon Family, accredited in helping to pioneer high-quality natural and honey-processed coffees in Central America, necessity was certainly the driving force to build Las Lajas. Las Lajas is one of the first modern micro-mills in Costa Rica. Located in the Central Valley region, today Las Lajas is at the forefront of micro-mill processing trend in Costa Rica. In 2008, a terrible earthquake cut off the Chacon Family's access to electricity and water during the harvest. With no other way to process coffee, they did the only thing they could, dried the coffee in cherry in the sun and experiment with new hybrid drying practices.
Las Lajas is now frequently a source of coffee in both global barista competitions and the Cup of Excellence. Las Lajas is renowned for its natural and honey processing methods, which are processes that greatly reduce water consumption but also require precisely executed drying protocols. Over the last ten years, the Chacon family has focused on balancing environmental impact of coffee production with expressive cup profiles.
