Costa Rica Poás Las Lajas

Las Lajas farm is currently being run by Oscar Chacon and his wife, Francisca, who are the third generation of coffee producers in their family. They have been successful in preserving the legacy of their farm, and their coffee has gained immense popularity, with production rising to over 2000 bags per year. The duo runs a diverse farming operation that involves growing and processing coffee, leading to the creation of unique and terroir-driven coffees that cannot be found elsewhere.

The name Las Lajas comes from the Spanish version of an Arabic word for the indigenous-crafted stone artifacts found on the farm when it was first planted. In total, 38 hectares of land are divided into several parcels, each of which grow various shade tree species and create unique micro-climates. In addition, different lots process coffee differently—some naturally, others either honey or washed. Las Lajas’s farming diversity allows the farm to create several distinct products with different characteristics all within a contained area. There is a rich tradition of coffee farming in the Chacón family: generations have owned and produced coffee on their land for more than 80 years.

Only the ripest, sweetest, most perfect cherries are reserved for this very special natural lot.
