Costa Rica Perla Negra Natural Microlot

Oscar and Francisca Chacón are third-generation coffee producers in Costa Rica, deeply passionate about quality and innovation. In 2005, they joined the "micromill revolution" by purchasing their own depulper, allowing them to control both quality and pricing, whilst also encouraging them to innovate and experiment with incredible results.

Oscar and Francisca's early experiments led to unique flavour profiles, especially in Honey process coffees, which they now produce in various styles by adjusting drying times. In 2008, an earthquake disrupted electricity and water during harvest, prompting Francisca to innovate by building raised drying beds inspired by African coffee techniques.

This microlot release ‘Perla Negra’ takes it’s name from a natural process developed by Oscar and Francisca that has now become synonymous with their farm, and their excellence in innovation.

Perla Negra Natural Process

This is a natural process, where the ripe coffee beans with a high percentage of brix degrees are taken to raised beds where they will be in a thin layer receiving the sun, after a week the beans will rest in the shade (cold ) to be later transferred to the greenhouse patio to continue its dehydration, in which the cherries are moved twice a day, which makes it an extremely slow drying process.
