Cup Profile: Nutmeg - Banana Cake - Prunes

Process: Honey

We proudly present Finca El Centro, a distinguished micro-lot within the renowned Sumava de Lourdes estate, located in the volcanic highlands of Costa Rica’s West Valley. Sitting at approximately ~1675 meters above sea level.

This lot of Caturra Black Moon is crafted using the traditional Honey process. The cherries are selectively handpicked, depulped while leaving the sticky mucilage intact, and then dried slowly under Sumava’s naturally cool conditions for 40–45 days, allowing sugars to concentrate and the flavor profile to deepen.

The result is a cup with nutmeg, banana Cake, and prunes, supported by a balanced, harmonious acidity.

Finca El Centro earned 4th place in the Cup of Excellence Costa Rica 2025 – Traditional Honey & Natural Processes Category, scoring 89.50, showcasing the precision, craftsmanship, and exceptional microclimate that define Sumava de Lourdes.
