About This Coffee

Producer: Vélez FamilyFarm: La LuisaRegion: Ciudad Bolivar, AntioquiaVariety: CaturraProcess: Honey Carbonic Maceration+ PeachAltitude: 1600 - 1800 maslHarvested: 2026 Cupping notes: Peach, apricot jam, fruit candy, honey Finca La Luisa sits at 1,720 masl in Antioquia, near San Bernardo de los Farallones. Run by Juan Pablo Vélez, the farm has built a strong reputation for pushing fermentation in a controlled, repeatable way, with a focus on clarity rather than excess. This lot follows a double carbonic maceration process in pressurised stainless steel tanks. Whole cherries are first placed in the tank and flushed with CO₂ to create an oxygen-free environment. They remain there for 5 days, developing structure and complexity. After this stage, the fermentation juice is extracted and kept.The cherries are then depulped and returned to fermentation, this time with the extracted juice from the first stage combined with fresh peach. This second fermentation continues for another 3 days.Finally, the coffee is dried for around 5 days, allowing it to stabilise while preserving the character built during fermentation. What stands out here is the control - the fruit is integrated into the process, not layered on top. It adds character without taking over.

Sumo Coffee Roasters

Daniel Horbat, winner of the 2019 World Cup Tasters Championship in Berlin with a perfect score and three time Irish Cup Tasting Champion, founded Sumo Coffee Roasters in the summer of 2020 alongside his partner Alexandra after the pandemic provided a crossroads moment to pursue their long held dream. The couple, a Romanian duo living in Ireland since 2012, started roasting at home on a 50 gram Ikawa sample roaster during lockdowns, pushing over 300 kilograms through the tiny machine before it gave out, then graduating to a 3 kilogram Mill City roaster before settling on a custom made Probat P12 III series as their production workhorse. The name Sumo was inspired by sumo wrestling's values of discipline, sacrifice, and respect, principles Daniel embodied during the six months of strict preparation that led to his world championship, a regimen of plain chicken and rice with no alcohol, no smoking, and no social life. Their discovery of specialty coffee's potential came through an Ethiopian coffee with floral and fruity notes in 2012, a moment that redirected Daniel's twenty year career in coffee toward the specialty end of the craft. Sumo channels a world champion's palate and a competitor's discipline into every roast that leaves their Dublin facility.
