costa rica las lajas black honey is a caturra varietal from costa rica, roasted by pioneer coffee roasters. it's processed using the black honey method, where a significant amount of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which pushes sweetness and body further than a washed coffee. in the cup expect stone fruit and peach up front, with honey and honeycomb in the finish. it suits filter brewing, where the clarity of the process comes through cleanly. a medium-fine grind, water around 93°c, and a slow pour-over will highlight the fruit and sweetness without muddying the softer honeyed notes.

common questions

What does Costa Rica Las Lajas Black Honey taste like?

it leads with stone fruit and peach, then settles into honey and honeycomb sweetness. the black honey process amplifies that sweetness compared to a washed costa rican coffee.

How is Costa Rica Las Lajas Black Honey grown and processed?

it's grown in costa rica using the caturra varietal and processed as a black honey, meaning most of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean while it dries, adding body and sweetness to the final cup.

How should I brew Costa Rica Las Lajas Black Honey?

a pour-over or filter method works well here, letting the stone fruit and honey notes come through clearly. keep water temperature around 93°c and avoid over-extraction, which can dull the softer peach and honeycomb characteristics.
