The Lumo Story
Hi, I'm Tim Hughes - founder of Lumo Coffee and occasional bridge jumper. Lumo Coffee came from my background in Health & Fitness and my passion for coffee. The two are combined. The research on the health benefits of coffee is compelling and became simply impossible to ignore.
I set out to find the healthiest coffee on the planet and the journey led our team all around the world. Our list of non-negotiables was that our coffee had to be organic, ethically farmed, a Specialty grade bean and pack an extremely high antioxidant content. We sourced, tested and tasted until finally we found the bean we had been chasing in the highlands of Peru. We did further tasting and tasting with different roast profiles, tweaking temperatures and timing to maintain theextremely high antioxidant content and outstanding aromas and flavours. Above all it had to taste terrific!
- Antioxidants are chemicals that interact with and neutralise free radicals, thus preventing htem from cousing damage.
- Caffeine and polyphenols improve mental and physical performance.
- Polyphenols help control blood pressure, blood sugar levels and aid circulation.
- Source of fibre. 3 cups of coffee a day gives 5g which is 25% OF RDA.
- Fermented bean - good for our microbiome.
- Lower risk of heart disease.
The tests came back from the Analytical Research Laboratory at the Southern Cross University in Lismore, NSW. We had to check with the Head Scientist to make sure there was no mistake - he was surprised too! The results were confirmed and we were over the moon!
Lumo Sol Coffee contains 3 times the antioxidants of regular coffee! Yep - our chosen bean is an antioxidant superstar!
Our coffee is also free from any nasties such as pesticides, mycotoxins, mould and chemicals.

Why Lumo?
In 1887, Polish physician Ludovic Zamenhof introduced Esperanto, a simple, easy-to-learn planned language.
His goal was to erase communication barriers between ethnic groups by providing them with a politically neutral, culturally free standard language.
Lumo is the Esperanto word for light. It represents life, vitality and growth. Light guides us, sustains us and brings us hope.
