SOURCING STORY
Pulcal is located in the picturesque Antigua valley, Guatemala. Here Maria Zelaya, 3rd generation owner and producer, has been producing fantastic coffees for over 50 years. This is a unique offering from Pulcal, a small selection of Malawi Geisha. The original seedlings for this variety were gifted to Maria by a friend visiting from Malawi. Genetically distinct from the more common Panamanian derived geisha, this lot still demonstrates the trademark elegance and quality that Geisha is now synonymous with.
