Joining the emerging micromill movement, they invested in their own depulper to take control of both quality and value. \u201cAt first, we didn\u2019t know what we were doing,\u201d Oscar recalls. \u201cWe were just experimenting.\u201d That spirit of experimentation led to some of the most expressive profiles we\u2019ve encountered. Today, the Chac\u00f3ns produce a wide spectrum of Honey process coffees, carefully adjusting drying times to shape distinct sensory outcomes in the cup.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1538\">This particular lot follows Las Lajas\u2019s Black Diamond Natural process. While still a Natural, it undergoes an extended drying period of 15 to 22 days. After harvest, only cherries with high Brix levels are selected. They are then moved to greenhouse patios, where the process begins with a thick layer to encourage aerobic fermentation during the first week. Afterward, the cherries are spread into thin layers to complete a slow, controlled dehydration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1909\">This lot is composed entirely of the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">SL28<\/span><\/span> variety, celebrated for its clarity and vibrant acidity. We selected it not only for its cup profile, but also for its heritage\u2014SL28 played a key role in defining the identity of <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Kenya<\/span><\/span> coffees. Today, its presence is fading due to its susceptibility to leaf rust.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"2151\">Through this variety, the producer\u2019s precision, and our roasting approach, this coffee led us to win one of the most demanding competitions: the <strong>\u201c2006 Limited Edition\u201d<\/strong> filter category at the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Helsinki Coffee Festival 2026<\/span><\/span> this April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"140\">We recommend letting the coffee rest briefly after brewing. As it cools, the body settles and deeper, more layered flavours begin to unfold. This is not an omni-roast. It\u2019s crafted with filter in mind, yet it can also perform beautifully as a milk-based espresso\u2014where, in fact, this very coffee placed <strong data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"335\">3rd in Espresso of the Year <\/strong>(we used a pre-infused brew for the competition).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"447\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Brewing recipes for both pour-over and espresso will be shared soon on <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Instagram<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Origin: <\/strong>Sabanilla de Alajuela, Central Valley.
