The “black honey” process is a standout method at Las Lajas. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are pulped, leaving a significant amount of sticky fruit mucilage on the beans. These beans are then carefully dried on raised beds, allowing the sugars to infuse the beans with a rich, fruity sweetness and layered complexity.
This labor-intensive approach requires constant attention and expertise, resulting in a cup profile that is both expressive and memorable.
