      About the farmer(s)

      Francisca y Oscar Chacón - San Isidro [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 San Isidro lot was processed using the "Alma Negra" natural method developed at Las Lajas. The coffee cherries are delivered to the wet-mill where they are washed, sorted & then spread out on raised beds in a greenhouse to ferment for 2-3 days. They are then transferred to raised beds to sun-dry during the day & returned to the greenhouse at night.
