Oscar & Francisca Chacón are 3rd generation coffee producers who are commited to quality and innovation. Not only were they among the first producers in Costa Rica to experiment with “honey” processed coffees, but they have also built their own mill to have more control over quality and experimentation. After an earthquake in 2008 wiped out water and power to the farm the Chacón’s took inspiration from African producers and begun innovating with natural lots.

“Black Diamond” natural process involves leaving specially selected high-brix cherry to sun-dry for a week in thick layers, allowing for increased fermentation. The coffee is then spread in more traditional thin layers to complete the drying phase.
