Guatemala Antigua - Hacienda Carmona Pulcal

One of the coffees we currently have available is the Guatemala Antigua - Hacienda Carmona Pulcal.

Hacienda Carmona is a third generation family farm located in Antigua at 5200-6100 feet. It has been run by Maria Zelaya Aguirre since 1959. Her family acquired the farm in the 1800s. The hillside exposure and well-draining soils give Carmona a unique micro-climate. They call the single farm coffee "Cafe Pulcal," which is the name of their mill as well.

In the cup it's classic and clean. Grape and blackberry fruits with hints of raisin, chocolate, and silky smooth caramel.
