【Note】
The Chacón Family has been growing coffee at Las Lajas for over 80 years and became organically certified farm in 2000, one of only a handful of farms in Costa Rica to be officially certified organic at that time. Oscar Chacón, the third generation of this farm, began organic farming 30 yrs ago due to his loss of his father cased by pesticide. At Finca Las Lajas, cherries are matured on tree and maturity are assessed by BRIX. This technique enables them to manage stability in quality as well as flavor.
