Alma Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is grown at Finca La Unica, a high-altitude farm in Honduras owned by Leticia, a 5th generation coffee farmer. The farm features sustainably grown coffee with strategically placed shade trees and natural surroundings. The coffee uses natural (dry) processing methods developed in consultation with agronomists and the Honduran Coffee Institute (IHCAFE). It is roasted closer to a light roast to highlight the natural terroir. The coffee has a juicy character with a tea-like body, offering untraditional flavor notes compared to typical coffee/chocolate profiles.

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.
