Wholesale Belen Gualcho | Light-Med Roast

𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Belen Gualcho is the name of a small village in the Ocotepeque department of Honduras. With a population of about 16,000 people, the village is a true jewel located in the middle of the Honduran mountains not far from our own family coffee farms. We first came across this delicious coffee when Jesus Mata, a local coffee farmer, heard about our family farm, Finca Terrerito (Finca T). Jesus was interested in learning more about our commitment to treating farmers fairly and focusing on helping the communities we partner with, so he decided to go out on a limb and make the journey to Finca T to introduce himself and his coffee to our team. After a cupping that blew our farm team away, our farm director, Marcial, made the trip to visit the coffee farms in Belen Gaulcho to see their operations first hand and verify their use of sustainable practices. Thanks to Jesus, we were able to get our hands on this delicious coffee from a group of 7 farmers (including Jesus) that have on average 1 to 2 acres each. 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Grown at 1,700 meters above sea level, Belen Gaulcho is one of our more high-altitude coffee offerings. With denser and more complex beans, we experimented with a range of different light roasts until we landed on one that beautifully accentuated the delicious tasting notes of this coffee. Belen Gualcho is a coffee for you If you love acidity and complexity of natural flavor in your coffee.
