Discover Costa Rica: A Honey-Processed Coffee Tasting
Join Belux Coffee Roasters for a guided tasting of three distinctive honey-processed coffees from Costa Rica, plus a special bonus selection.
This August, Ben and Lucy traveled to Costa Rica to visit Las Lajas Mill and its coffee farms. During the visit, they cupped six coffees, exploring how variety and processing shape each cup. This tasting brings that exploration to Roswell, featuring coffees from Las Lajas and the Aguilera Brothers.
Those who joined our August tasting may remember the naturally processed Laurina from Las Lajas. For this event, we turn our attention to honey processing and the range of sweetness, texture, and complexity it can reveal.
The Producers Behind the Coffees
Las Lajas is celebrated for its dedication to natural and honey processing. Owners Oscar and Francisca are third-generation coffee farmers and the first generation in their family to operate the mill. Their commitment to quality, experimentation, and innovation has helped establish Las Lajas as a respected name in Costa Rican specialty coffee.
Alongside two Las Lajas selections, we’ll feature a honey-processed coffee from the Aguilera Brothers, offering another perspective on Costa Rica’s diverse coffee production.
The Tasting Lineup
SL28 · Red Honey
Las Lajas Mill · Finca La Julia
A celebrated Arabica variety selected in Kenya in the 1930s, SL28 is renowned for its exceptional cup quality. This selection offers an opportunity to explore its expression in Costa Rican growing conditions through red honey processing.
Typica Lima · Yellow Diamond (Anaerobic Honey)
Las Lajas Mill · Finca Carrizal
A rare selection of the traditional Typica variety, paired with Las Lajas’ distinctive Yellow Diamond process. We’ll explore how variety and anaerobic honey processing come together in the cup.
San Roque · Yellow Honey
Aguilera Brothers Mill · Finca Chayote
Also known as San Roque Kenia, this variety is closely related to SL28. Tasting these coffees together offers a chance to consider how variety, farm, and processing contribute to their individual character.
Plus one bonus coffee from Costa Rica, revealed at the tasting.
