From KB:
 
"The family has owned this 2-hectare plantation for a long time. Hellen and her family planted coffee on this land about 10 years ago, and it is located at an altitude of 1,700 meters.
 
Their priority is always natural coffees, and they have been among the pioneers in pushing the boundaries of natural coffees in Costa Rica, which has allowed them to produce some of our favorite coffees every year. 
 
The La Chirascuasa farm, covering one hectare, is located at an altitude of 1700 meters in Parritilla. Acquired by the Mora family eight years ago, it specializes in cultivating the Caturra and Catuai varieties. Its name comes from the presence of numerous chirascuasas, small mountain hens with a distinctive call, which populate the farm.
 
Since planting, the Mora family has carefully maintained and renovated the farm. Environmentally conscious, they do not use herbicides and prefer manual weeding, a more demanding but worthwhile task. They strategically fertilize their crops three times a year and apply a treatment against leaf rust two to three times a year.
 
This batch is produced anaerobically in sealed tanks for 48 to 60 hours, before being transferred to raised beds to dry for at least 25 days, resulting in an intense, rich, and complex cup."
