Costa Rica - La Lajas Micromill - Black Diamond Natural - SHOWCASE #04

Introducing our latest limited-edition Showcase release: a standout microlot from Las Lajas Micromill in Costa Rica, processed using the Black Diamond Natural method.

Whole bean - 100g roasted on March 31st 2026

Grown on the volcanic slopes of Costa Rica’s Central Valley, this exceptional SL-28 microlot comes from Finca Calle Liles, one of the farms owned by pioneering producers Oscar and Francisca Chacón of Las Lajas Micromill.

Processed using the Black Diamond Natural method, a slow, controlled natural process unique to Las Lajas. The cherries are carefully dried over 15–22 days at low temperatures to allow natural sugar crystallisation without heat stress. This results in a cup that is sweeter, cleaner, and brighter than traditional naturals, with refined fruit character and exceptional clarity.

Globally recognised for innovation in honey and natural processing, the Chacón family continue to elevate Costa Rican specialty coffee through sustainability, experimentation, and quality-driven microlots.
