San Sebastián

About This Coffee

This coffee is a single origin from San Sebastián, an isolated small town in Lempira, Honduras. The town is located in steep mountainous terrain with some of the highest altitude coffees in Honduras, growing at 1,700-2,000 MASL. Farmers in this area use traditional processing methods due to the geographic isolation and lack of modern infrastructure. The coffee is processed using wet wash (traditional washed method) and roasted to a light profile to preserve its tea-like complexity. Tasting notes include honey, lemongrass, and lime.

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.
