About Sumava de Lourdes

Nestled at 1,670 to 1,750 meters above sea level, Sumava de Lourdes benefits from Costa Rica’s ideal coffee-growing conditions. The farm is divided into two plots: Finca Monte Lourdes, home to the processing mill and a variety of experimental lots, and Finca Llano Bonito, dedicated to the classic Costa Rican Villa Sarchi variety. This particular lot comes from Monte Lourdes and features 100% Caturra, processed as Yellow Honey.

Expert Management by Francisco Mena

Francisco has spent years perfecting coffee cultivation, ensuring the highest quality through:

• Innovative Processing: Yellow Honey processing, which removes most of the mucilage, enhancing sweetness and body.
• Sustainable Farming: Careful land management to maintain soil health and biodiversity.
• Selective Harvesting: Only the ripest cherries are picked, ensuring consistent quality and flavour.

At Sumava’s on-site mill, the coffee is meticulously dried on raised beds, allowing for even fermentation and development of complex flavour notes.

Yellow Honey Caturra: Unique Flavour & Quality

This year’s harvest showcases the excellence of Caturra, a classic Costa Rican variety known for its balanced and sweet profile. The Yellow Honey process gives the beans a golden hue during drying, enhancing their natural fruit and sugar characteristics.

Expect a cup with rich brown sugar sweetness, smooth milk chocolate undertones, and a hint of dried fruit, all tied together with a velvety mouthfeel.
