The Black Honey Masterpiece: Costa Rica Las Lajas (Cumbres del Poas)

The Legacy: In the world of specialty coffee, Dona and Oscar of Las Lajas are visionaries. They didn't just adopt the honey process; they pioneered it. As a Legacy Roaster of their estate, we have exclusive access to their most coveted lot: the Black Honey. This is a coffee so rare that there is often a global waiting list before the harvest even begins.

The Black Honey Process: This is the most complex of all honey methods. The beans are dried with 100% of the sugary mucilage intact, undergoing a slow, meticulous "turning" process under the sun. This results in a heavy, syrupy sweetness and a deep, fruit-forward complexity that standard coffees cannot achieve.

The Profile:

• Primary Notes: Strawberry Balsamic, Peach Jam, and Mission Fig.

• Finish: A gentle cocoa undertone with a velvety, rounded mouthfeel.

• Aroma: Intense floral honey and sun-ripened fruit.
