Region: El Salvador

Farm: Cafe Pacas

Altitude: 1300m

Variety: Pacamara

• Pacamara is a hybrid variety created by crossing Pacas and Maragogipe. Pacas is a natural mutation of Bourbon, while Maragogipe is renowned for its unusually large bean size. Their combination results in a unique variety characterized by larger beans, a distinct flavor structure, and complex layers.
• Pacamara coffee beans typically exhibit bright, crisp acidity, intense fruit aromas, and excellent sweetness, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and a well-integrated structure, earning high acclaim in the specialty coffee industry.

Process: Natural

• The natural process involves drying the whole coffee cherry, allowing the sugars from the fruit pulp and mucilage to permeate into the bean core during the drying process. This method effectively enhances the coffee’s sweetness and body while intensifying fruitiness and flavor complexity.
• In this batch, the natural process further highlights the sweet notes of strawberry and berries, brings out the ripe fruit aromas of sweet orange and apricot, and adds a refreshing pomelo-like citrus finish, giving the overall flavor profile more depth and complexity.
