WHITE PEACH | TANGERINE | DELICATE

Las Lajas Micromill in Costa Rica's Central Valley is run by third-generation producers Oscar and Francisca Chacón, among the first in the country to specialize in Honey and Natural processing.

This lot, an Orange Bourbon from Finca Los Pinitos, is processed using the "Black Diamond" method — a natural aerobic process. Cherries are classified at the mill for high brix, then moved to the greenhouse patio for drying. The first week they're piled in a thick layer to ferment aerobically, then spread thin until drying is complete.

In the cup: White peach sweetness and tangerine brightness over a structured, chocolate-tinged finish — delicate but layered.
