Alma Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the village of Agua Fria in the San Sebastian, Lempira region of Honduras, grown by farmer Sergio Molina at high altitude. The beans are small and extremely dense due to the elevation. It is roasted to a lighter profile to capture unique floral characteristics not commonly found in Central American coffees. The coffee offers fruit-forward flavors.

Alma Coffee

Alma Coffee was founded in 2018 by Leticia Hutchins, a fifth generation Honduran coffee farmer, and her husband Harry, a veteran. The women owned, farm to cup operation manages the entire process from agriculture to roasting, working three family farms in Copan, Honduras: Finca Fer, Finca Don Victor, and Finca El Igureral. The farms hold USDA Organic, Fair Trade, and Smithsonian Bird Friendly certifications, the last of which confirms shade grown practices that provide habitat for migratory birds. Roasting takes place at a 3,500 square foot facility in Canton, Georgia, where the team uses two Loring Smart Roasters, a 15kg Falcon and a larger S35 Kestrel, making Alma the first roaster in Georgia to operate Loring equipment. Their range includes Natural Process, Honey Process, and Wet Wash coffees alongside cascara made from their own coffee cherries.
