Costa Rica Las Lajas Perla Negra

Funky & Fruity

When dried naturally, coffee cherries tend to look like little black pearls - hence the name. This gem of a coffee bursts with intense fruity sweetness in every sip.

    Roaster’s Notes
    Owners Oscar and Francisca Chacon run what is considered to be one of the best micro mills in Costa Rica. Well known for its exceptional drying techniques for natural and honey-processed coffees, Las Lajas is constantly experimenting and developing new processing techniques to create the best possible coffees. After working with the Chacons for several years, we had the pleasure of visiting the mill during our 2018 trip to Costa Rica.
