From time to time a coffee comes along that stays with you long after you’re done drinking it; for us this is one of those coffees. Laurina from Las Lajas Micromill in Costa Rica remains one of the most anticipated coffees among our team and community each and every time it lands in the roastery. It's cool, delicious, unique, and for some of us it changed how we see coffee!
Naturally lower in caffeine Laurina claims less bitterness than most varieties of Arabica; when processed with the Las Lajas “Black Diamond Natural” method it shows us some lovely characteristics that we are always so excited to see in coffees from Costa Rica!
The Black Diamond Natural processing method is a proprietal Aerobic Natural processing method developed by Francisca and Oscar Chacon at Las Lajas Micromill. Coffee cherries are laid out in a thick layer on a concrete patio under shade, they are then moved periodically throughout the day. This is done to extend the drying period of the cherries to around 30 days.
In our shops we do all our hand brews on Origami brewers with the Origami conical filter. We follow a simple three pour recipe at a 1:17 ratio.
We do the majority of our initial QC through the cupping process. Once we have released a coffee we do further QC with our Origami hand brewing process. We often tweak things according to what the coffee is showing us. If you ever have questions about brewing, feel free to reach out to us!
We offer free shipping on orders over $65. We Ship out orders on Tuesdays and Fridays.
