Pacamara stammer fra El Salvador, gjennom krysning av den lokale Pacas-sorten med Maragogipe, en sort kjent for sine store bønner og fruktige profil. Denne unike hybriden er synonymt med koppkvalitet i landet. Denne kaffen er honey-prosessert, noe som betyr at etter at kirsebærets skall ble fjernet, ble bønnene tørket med sitt søte, klebrige slimlag intakt. Denne prosesseringsmetoden fremhever frukttonene i denne sorten, og resulterer i en kopp som er forankret i brunt sukker-sødme, med lag av saftig, tropisk frukt etter hvert som den avkjøles.

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.
