Guatemala Antigua Hacienda Carmona Pulcal

First batch is On Shelf, but almost SOLD OUT! This one is Guatemala Antigua Hacienda carmona Pulcal. Come grab a bag today!

Hacienda Carmona is a third generation farm located in Antigua at 5200-6100 feet altitude. They call the single-farm coffee from Carmona "Cafe Pulcal" which is also the name of their mill. The farm dates to early colonial times, but coffee was planted in the 1800s when the farm was acquired by the Zelaya family, and first exported in 1918. Carmona has been run by Maria Zelaya Aguirre since 1959.

In the cup it's blackberry with a raisin and grape sweetness. Smooth bittersweet cocoa highlights as it cools.
