The Story

Alma ("soul") is a regional blend of coffees from small producers in Huehuetenango and Nuevo Oriente. Guatemala-based Onyx Coffee selects lots for Alma with the goal of producing a consistent, clean, and lightly fruity coffee.

High-quality Bourbon and Caturra harvests are depulped, washed, and fermented for 24 hours before drying on concrete patios for 9 days.

Smokeless Stove Program

Onyx donates $0.05 per pound of Alma sold to Habitat for Humanity Guatemala to support their Smokeless Stove Program. These clean stoves impact remote families for decades by increasing indoor air quality, improving wood-fuel efficiency, and decreasing cooking time.
