Finca Santa Elena - Pacamara Honey

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.

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.
