      About the farmer(s)

      Francisca y Oscar Chacón - H17 [slow dried natural] robic natural] — Costa Rica

      Francisca & Oscar are third-generation coffee farmers who also own the Las Lajas micro-mill. Until 2005 they sold their coffee to a local co-op, but decide that year to buy a de-pulper to process their own coffee. This went well until an earthquake in 2008 wiped out the electricity & by necessity they started to produce honey & natural coffees. This H17 lot was processed using the "Black Diamond" natural method developed at Las Lajas. The coffee cherries are delivered to the wet-mill where they are washed, sorted & then spread out in thick layers in the greenhouse to ferment anaerobically for the first week. After this they are spread in a thin layer until dried to 11% moisture.
