Enchanted is Alma Coffee's flagship dark roast—a Honduran single-origin that defies the bitter, burnt stereotype of traditional dark coffees. Grown at Finca Terrerito, Alma's family farm in Honduras, this coffee showcases what happens when meticulous processing meets a bold roast profile. The result is a cup that's rich and full-bodied, with deep chocolate and molasses sweetness that never crosses into harsh territory.
Tasting Notes
Expect dark chocolate, brown sugar, and molasses on the palate, with a velvety body that coats the mouth. The acidity is low and gentle, making this an approachable coffee for those who prefer a smoother, less bright cup. The finish lingers with caramelized sweetness rather than bitterness—a testament to Alma's careful roasting. If you typically add cream or sugar to your coffee, Enchanted's natural sweetness amplifies beautifully, creating a dessert-like experience without overwhelming the coffee's inherent character.
Brew Methods
Enchanted excels in immersion methods like French press and AeroPress, where its full body and chocolate notes can develop fully. It also makes a bold, syrupy espresso that cuts through milk drinks beautifully—think lattes and cappuccinos with a pronounced cocoa backbone. Pour-over methods work too, especially if you prefer a cleaner (but still rich) cup. A medium-coarse grind for drip or French press, and a fine grind for espresso, will help you unlock its potential.
