La Loma 777
Strawberry and tropical fruits fill out a rich body, with grapefruit bringing a lively, zesty finish.
Produced by the Ureña family at Beneficio La Chumeca in San Pablo de León Cortés, Tarrazú, this Red Catuai grows at 1,500–1,800 metres. The family’s 777 process combines aerobic and anaerobic fermentation before the coffee is sun-dried on raised beds. Wood roasted by us in Totnes.

Producer Info
La Chumeca was established in 2014 and is managed by Martín Ureña with his sons Jorge, known as Pacho, and Emilio. The family specialises in naturally processed coffees, using different fermentation methods before sun-drying on raised beds.
Their 777 process brings together aerobic and anaerobic stages. During fermentation, the team monitors temperature, pH and Brix, a measure of sugar concentration. Stainless-steel barrels allow samples to be taken without opening the airlock. The family develops these profiles through control of the fermentation rather than added infusions.
Across its four farms, La Chumeca tests soils to understand what each plot needs and uses fruit trees for shade and organic material.
