Carol Zuletas coffee isn't commonplace; it's a journey back in time, steeped in centuries of coffee farming tradition.
Family-Grown, Expertly Crafted We believe the best coffee comes from hands that care deeply about quality and community. That's why we're proud to partner with Finca Samaria, a family-owned farm in Belén de Umbría. This coffee is named after Carol, the skilled fermentation manager. She carefully oversees every batch. It shows her creative double-fermentation method called the "yellow-honey process."
Honey Process, Minus the Bees No bees here—just beans with personality. This unique method involves carefully removing the seeds outer skin while leaving its sticky, honey-like mucilage intact. Air-drying and fermentation change these beans. This process brings out their natural sweetness. The result is a smooth, chocolatey cup with hints of flowers and citrus.
What to Expect in Your Cup of Carol Zuletas coffee? You will find hints of dark brown sugar and a sweet taste like honey. There is no actual honey; it's just coffee magic. You'll be rewarded with brighter citrus notes and rich chocolate undertones.
There's no wrong way to enjoy this coffee, but if you ask us, a pour-over is the perfect introduction. You’ll likely capture all the nuances of floral and sweetness we’ve loved in this coffee.
