A Pacamara originou-se em El Salvador através do cruzamento da variedade local Pacas com a Maragogipe, uma variedade conhecida pelas suas sementes grandes e perfil frutado. Este híbrido único é sinónimo de qualidade de chávena no país. Este café foi processado por via húmida, o que significa que, após a remoção da pele da cereja, as sementes foram secas com a sua mucilagem doce e pegajosa ainda intacta. Este método de processamento realça os tons frutados desta variedade, resultando numa chávena enraizada na doçura de açúcar mascavado, com camadas de fruta tropical suculenta à medida que arrefece.

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.
