Pulcal is the top selection from Finca Carmona, a renowned family estate overseen by Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora, an esteemed exporter in the Antigua region. Crisp and comforting, Pulcal provides a rich coffee experience redolent of marzipan and cacao nibs in each cup. We’ve been buying quality lots from Finca Carmona since 2017, but this farm has been around since the 1900s. The active volcanoes nearby contribute to the complex composition of its soils, and heirloom bourbon varietal trees are propagated across the sprawling estate. The quality of cherry selection there is nothing short of extraordinary. Coffee trees are planted in well-spaced rows on this estate: one row in three is stumped every few years to make room for more light and air to nourish the remaining trees. This proactive program is part of a dedicated three-year pruning cycle that keeps root systems intact while integrating young plants into production for a healthy balance each harvest.

More Details

Bean Source Country: Guatemala
Guatemala is one of the main coffee-producing countries in Central America. Its volcanic soil and altitude make it ideal for producing quality arabica.
Coffee in Guatemala is grown in the high-altitude regions of the country. The country is known for producing high-quality Arabica beans, known for their well-balanced, rich, and complex flavors with notes of chocolate, fruit, and nuts with great acidity. The volcanic soil and favorable climate conditions contribute to the unique taste profile of Guatemalan coffee. The coffee industry is a significant part of the country's economy, with small-scale farmers and cooperatives being the primary producers. Guatemala represents around 2% of the world's coffee production, but due to its reputation for high quality, has an outsized impact in specialty roasts.
