Strawberry Cream is coffee in dessert form… but with precision.

Produced by the Vélez family at Finca La Luisa (Antioquia), this lot follows a clear approach: advanced, yet controlled, fermentations. Here, the fruit doesn't dominate — it integrates.

The result is a sweet, creamy, and very expressive profile, with "dessert coffee" notes that maintain clarity and balance.

A coffee that surprises without overwhelming.

Process

Processed using double carbonic maceration + strawberry, with a technical focus:

First fermentation in cherry (~5 days) in an anaerobic environment
Extraction of the generated must
Pulping and second fermentation (~3 days) with must + strawberries
Controlled drying (~5 days) for stabilization

This process allows for a sweet and complex profile without over-fermentation.

Sumo Coffee Roasters' mission is to create a transparent and ethical coffee business that highlights and celebrates everyone involved, from the producers and farmers who pour their heart and sweat into the craft to the baristas who create the finished product, and everyone in between.

Our goal is to ensure direct trade and that we pay a fair price to the farmers.

By helping educate consumers about the farmers' craft, by telling the story behind the bean, and by doing our best to achieve perfection in our roast, Sumo's plan is to elevate the standards and experience for all involved in the industry, innovating the way forward for coffee.

Sumo Coffee Roasters was founded in summer 2020 by 2019 World Cup Tasters Champion Daniel Horbat and his partner, Alexandra.
