{"product_id":"costa-rica-las-lajas","title":"Costa Rica - Las Lajas","description":"\u003cp\u003eOscar and Francisca Chacón are third-generation coffee producers, but the coffee is more than just in their family heritage: It's in their hearts and souls as well. The couple is committed to quality and innovation, and are among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2005, after years of delivering their cherry to a cooperative for the going market price, they decided to join the brand-new \"micromill revolution\" and buy their own depulper to have more control over the quality and the price they received for their lots. \"At first, we didn't know what we were doing,\" Oscar explains. \"We were just experimenting.\" That experimentation led to some of the most exciting new flavor profiles we have ever tasted: Now, the Chacons produce a wide range of Honey process coffees, modulating the drying time in order to create different effects in the cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNecessity bred more innovation for the family when an earthquake in 2008 wiped out electricity and water to their area during the harvest. Unable to run the depulpers or to wash the mucilage off to produce Washed lots, Francisca took inspiration from her knowledge of African coffee production and quickly built raised beds on the property. Their Natural lots caught the attention of Cafe Imports' founder Andrew Miller, and the rest is both history and our-story.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLas Lajas owns and the following farms for cultivating their coffees: Calle Liles, Calle San Juan, Los Angeles, Los Pinitos, Sabana Redonda, Sabanilla, San Luis, Calle Lajas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eMicromill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLas Lajas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eProcess\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Honey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eVariety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSan Isidro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eElevation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1400–1600\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003csmall\u003eMASL\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSabanilla de Alajuela, Central Valley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCosta Rica\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"pl-0 font-weight-bold\"\u003eHarvest\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDecember–April\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Erie Coffee Roasters, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean","offer_id":48753723146496,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso Grind","offer_id":48753723179264,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"French Press","offer_id":48753723212032,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Drip","offer_id":48753723244800,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7442\/files\/Roasters_Reserve-CostaRicaLasLajas.png?v=1779466225","url":"https:\/\/www.eriecoffeeroasters.com\/products\/costa-rica-las-lajas","provider":"Erie Coffee Roasters, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
