Sumava de Lourdes
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Francisco Mena is a long-standing Verve farm-level partner, and Stumptown identifies him as a producer partner and Costa Rican micro-mill pioneer at Sumava de Lourdes.
Innovations
Mena’s proprietary lactic methods seal whole cherries in tanks so native microbes interact with fruit sugars. Verve says the fermented cherries are then depulped, washed, and dried on raised beds.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
