Finca Santa Elena - Pacamara Miel

Brewed my first cup this morning and the fruitiness really comes through—exactly what I hoped for from the Pacas and Maragogipe cross. Grounds smelled sweet before hitting the water, and the honey process gives it a smooth, lingering finish. This one’s earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

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.

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.
