Flavor Profile

Las Lajas is a pioneer in organic farming and natural processing in Costa Rica. "Perla Negra" uses an extreme natural method, giving the beans deep fermented sweetness. It features dark cherry, strawberry, and blueberry notes with a boozy red wine finish.

Processing Highlights

The "Perla Negra" method mimics Bourbon whiskey fermentation, slow-drying under the sun to allow fruit sugars to fully penetrate the bean.

  • Tip: Perfect for coffee enthusiasts who love strong fermentation and heavy body.
