Mexico COSTA RICA 95 Natural 140hr IMPERIAL JADE Lot 22

From La Joya in Ixhuacán de los Reyes, Veracruz, this Costa Rica 95 variety was produced by Gloria Hernández and Samuel Ronzón using their Jade Natural process. The coffee underwent 140 hours of fermentation and oxidation in sealed GP bags before drying for 20 days on raised African beds inside a forced-ventilation tunnel. Grown at 1,350–1,450 meters within La Joya’s diverse agroforestry system, the lot was then stabilized for 150 days before export. What makes La Joya especially meaningful to us is the relationship behind the coffee. Year after year, we have committed to purchasing nearly all of Samuel and La Joya’s available lots, allowing us to follow their work as the farm continues to evolve. Their focus on research, rare varieties, controlled processing, and long-term quality aligns closely with how we approach coffee at Luminous. Our goal is to continue growing alongside La Joya, supporting their experiments and future harvests for many years to come.
