Farm: Los Angeles
Varietal: San Isidro 48
Process: Natural
Altitude: 1400 - 1600 metres above sea level
Francisca and Oscar Chacón are third-generation coffee producers, but the coffee is more than just in their family heritage. The pair are committed to quality and innovation, and are among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee.
Necessity bred more innovation for the family when an earthquake in 2008 wiped out electricity and water to their area during the harvest. Unable to run the depulpers or to wash the mucilage off to produce Washed lots, Francisca took inspiration from her knowledge of African coffee production and quickly built raised beds on the property.
