About This Coffee

El Salvador produces excellent coffees, and the Pacamara varietal (a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogipe) is known for its large bean size and potential for complex flavors. Finca Malacara is a respected farm in a prime growing region. When processed naturally, Pacamara can develop intense and sometimes unconventional ('funky') characteristics. Expect a burst of tropical fruit (like mango or passionfruit) and ripe strawberry, coupled with a distinct winey acidity. Underlying notes of cocoa nibs or dark chocolate provide structure. The 'funk' refers to pleasant fermentation notes that add another layer of complexity. It's an adventurous coffee for those seeking unique profiles.

Coffee Varieties

Pacamara resulted from a hybrid cross of the Pacas and Maragogipe varieties, first created in El Salvador in 1958. It is famous for its exceptionally large beans and a complex, highly aromatic flavor profile. When grown at high altitudes, Pacamara can produce an outstanding cup with notes of tropical fruit, bright citrus, and intense floral sweetness.
