Honey Process

About This Coffee

This coffee is grown at Finca La Unica, part of Alma Family Farms, located in Copán, Honduras at 1,400 meters altitude. The coffee is honey processed, a specialty processing method developed through consultation with agronomists and the Honduran Coffee Institute. The processing preserves mucilage on the beans during drying, creating a juiciness and tea-like body. The coffee features tasting notes of honey-drizzled mango, cherry, and grilled pineapple. It is roasted to a bright-medium roast level to highlight the natural terroir and unique characteristics of the honey process.

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.
