Francisca Cubillo Salas comes from a long family tradition of coffee. Las Lajas is both a mill and a farm in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, and three generations of her family has produced coffee there. When Salas took over the farm, she put her own stamp on it by switching to organic farming practices. We paid 18% over Fair Trade price for this year's harvest, a Cup of Excellence finalist. The coffee has almonds and buttercream in the aroma, and a very mild yet crisp acidity. The best characteristic about the Las Lajas is the rich, smooth and consistent body.
