The Chacon Family

The Chacon Family produces coffee in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica at an altitude of 1500 meters. Their coffees are represented in the index through a small catalog footprint involving two roasters. The dominant varietals cultivated are Caturra and Catuai. Both varieties appear across the documented lots in the catalog data. The process portfolio observed in the catalog is focused entirely on the natural method. The recorded lots utilize natural processing exclusively. The catalog footprint consists of two coffees, with one currently listed as in stock. Two different roasters currently carry their lots, yielding an average Cherrybook Index across their lots of 53.2. Recent catalog examples include Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural roasted by Backyard Beans Coffee, and Costa Rica Las Lajas Alma Negra Natural roasted by Dark Woods Coffee. Both of these recent lots feature natural processing and a blend of Caturra and Catuai varietals. The work of the Chacon Family in the index is characterized by a focused approach to natural processing of traditional Caturra and Catuai varieties within the Central Valley region.
