From Honduras to Canton, Alma Coffee Roasts with Love

In Alma Coffee's roastery, the satisfying scent of coffee fills the air and smiling baristas greet you as you step in the door. Behind the scenes its roasters craft and deliver the small batch roasts for which Alma is known.

Taking his love for coffee seriously, Cody is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association and specializes in pourovers and roasting. He credits his Cuban heritage as an inspiration for his passion for coffee, sharing, "Coffee was always big in my family." He's also excited for his first trip to Finca Terrerito in 2024.

Cody serves up the medium-roast Otoño, which translates to fall in Spanish, using a Chemex Pourover Glass Coffeemaker, known for its simple yet pristine pourovers. He shares that the fresh pourover process is the “truest way to taste the coffee,” and he’s right. A sip of this smooth blend delivers a smoky flavor on the front end, a result of the wet-wash process, followed by fruity and floral notes from the honey and natural processes respectively. For a latte lover who likes a little coffee with their creamer, the pourover process is an unforgettable sensory experience. The clean roast is comforting and cozy, perfect for the cooler temperatures that prevail in a North Georgia fall and winter.
