About This Coffee

This extra dark roast coffee originates from neighboring farms in the Belen Gualcho Village in Copán, Honduras. The coffee is processed at Finca Terrerito (Finca T), the main Alma Family Farm founded in the 1960s, using wet wash processing methods. Grown at elevations between 1,000 and 1,800 meters above sea level, this coffee is notable for producing noticeable oils due to its well-developed dark roast. The flavor profile features double chocolate cake, berry compote, and burnt marshmallow notes, with a smooth and bold character and a hint of smokiness.

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.
