About This Coffee

Pacas is both a cherished varietal and a name that runs deep in El Salvador’s coffee lineage. Discovered as a natural mutation of Bourbon in the mid-20th century, Pacas has since become a cornerstone of the country’s specialty coffee identity. Smaller in stature, the plants produce tightly structured cherries that reward careful harvesting and processing. In the cup, Pacas coffees often feel silky and comforting, gentle in complexity but full of charm. What makes them truly special is their connection to legacy—this is a varietal shaped by Salvadoran soil, family farms, and decades of hands-on cultivation. Pacas isn’t flashy. It’s warm, reliable, and steeped in quiet excellence.
