Oscar 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.

Alma Negra is a process developed by Oscar and Francisca Chacón at Las Lajas.
This is a Natural process where the coffee dries inside of a greenhouse for 2-3 days while
being moved constantly. It is then transferred to raised beds during the day time to dry in the sun and returned to the greenhouse at night and piled up to slow down the curing and drying process.

*Prime window for drinking is 2 to 4 weeks post roast.
If the coffee is fresh be sure to bloom 40 seconds.

*A reminder that no exchanges or returns will be approved in the case of mistaken ordering – Please double check your grind preferences
