Finca Sumava de Lourdes is located within Costa Rica’s renowned growing region, the West Valley, in an area called Naranjo de Lourdes. The 68-hectare farm sits between 1,650 and 1,750 meters above sea level and is organized into plots by variety. Founded in 2015 by Francisco Mena, Sumava de Lourdes quickly became known for both quality and innovation. The phenomenal quality and diversity of coffee varieties, as well as processing techniques refined by Francisco and his team, continue to surprise and delight us each year.

Francisco Mena has been an incredible partner and dear friend for many years. Exclusive Coffees develops direct relationships between coffee producers in Costa Rica and roasters and importers worldwide, consolidating and exporting coffee from various smallholders, estates and micromills. Beyond providing market access, Exclusive also provides quality control and technical assistance to the producers they work with. Stumptown has been working with Exclusive since 2007.
