Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural
How Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural tastes.
Costa Rica's premier micro mill.
Las Lajas is widely regarded as the premier micro mill in Costa Rica, and this lot shows why. Oscar and Francisca Chacon earned their reputation in the early 2000s after an earthquake halted their washing equipment mid-harvest. Forced to dry coffee with the fruit still on, they stumbled into honey and natural processing years before either was common in Costa Rica — and buyers kept paying more for those lots. Over the following decade the Chacons refined their fermentation and drying to a fine art, and roasters around the world followed them into the market. In 2016 they bought their own roaster so they could taste and measure every lot season over season, rare for producers anywhere. Their organic natural is named "Perla Negra", or Black Pearl: fresh berries, a smooth vanilla sweetness and a finish like rich chocolate truffles.
Make the most of it.
This is a pre-order. Onyx Coffee Lab roast this lot on the date shown on the size chip, and that date is your cut-off to be on the batch. The beans reach us about a week later and your bag ships that same week. In Peninsular Malaysia it reaches you on the second day after it ships. Grind just before you brew.
Roasted by Onyx Coffee Lab.
Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural is roasted by Onyx Coffee Lab and imported by Bean Shipper. We bring in guest roasters when a lot reaches cup quality we can't source any other way. Order by the date on the size chip to be on the batch; the beans reach us about a week later and your bag ships that same week, inside the window this coffee drinks best in.

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?+
This is a pre-order. The date beside the size is when Onyx Coffee Lab roast this lot, and it is your cut-off to join that batch. The beans reach us about a week after that, and your bag ships in the week that follows the roast date. In Peninsular Malaysia it reaches you on the second day after it ships.
When is the coffee at its best?+
Beans need about 5 to 7 days to degas, then taste their best and stay good to about day 30 after the roast date printed on the bag. Keep the bag sealed, somewhere dark and room-temperature — never in the fridge.
How does the subscription work?+

What if I don't like it?+
Tell us and we'll replace it free, no questions asked. We would rather you found your coffee than kept one you don't love.
