There was Perla Negra, it’s time for Red Honey. Same grains, different process. And what’s going on here, ladies and gentlemen… This is one of the most floral and juicy Costa Rican honey(s?) we’ve ever drunk. In addition, the candy-fruit sweetness of blueberries, or perhaps grapes? Beautiful coffee.

PRODUCER

Francesca and Oscar are the siblings behind the Las Lajas brand. In 2023, it’s a kind of Real Madrid among farms. If you prefer comparisons to literature, well, at least Chekhov. They gained worldwide fame for their innovative approach to processing. They are pioneers in the subject of juicy and fruity Costa Rican natures. This year we were able to visit the farm and taste together the flights that had just left the drying tables. And voila! Seven months later you can se se pour this wonder from the jar!
