La Pacamara se originó en El Salvador mediante el cruce de la variedad local Pacas con la Maragogipe, una variedad conocida por sus semillas grandes y su perfil afrutado. Este híbrido único es sinónimo de calidad en taza en el país. Este café fue procesado por vía húmeda, lo que significa que, tras retirar la piel de la cereza, las semillas se secaron con su mucílago dulce y pegajoso aún intacto. Este método de procesamiento resalta los tonos afrutados de esta variedad, dando como resultado una taza que se asienta en la dulzura del azúcar moreno, con capas de fruta tropical jugosa a medida que se enfría.

James ★★★★★

The beans are massive—bigger than any I've brewed—and the cross with Maragogipe really shows in the cup, giving it a fruity brightness that lingers nicely. Took a couple of tries to dial in the grind, but once I did, the honey sweetness came through perfectly.

Christopher ★★★★★

The honey process really lets the Pacamara’s fruity side shine through, and the cup is noticeably sweet without any added sugar. I brewed it as a pour-over and the body felt silky, exactly what I hoped for from a cross with Maragogipe.

Claire ★★★☆☆

The beans are impressively large, which is what drew me in, but the honey process didn't translate into a cup that felt very distinct. It's a decent, smooth coffee, though I'd probably grab something else next time if I'm chasing that fruity note.
