STORY:
Pacamara originates from the renowned Santa Leticia Farm. Santa Leticia was bought in 1870 by the first constitutional president of El Salvador, Francisco Menendez. He honoured his wife Leticia by naming the property after her. After many generations Ricardo Valdivieso and his wife Patricia, along with their daughters, have brought the property back to the glory of its early years. Their land is an ode to Central American rainforests and the mill on their property is the most beautiful I have seen. Pacamara is a derivative of two different varieties, Pacas and Maragogipe. When grown at high altitudes this hybrid produces a coffee that is aesthetically pleasing and excellent in taste.

Just received my 10 lb professionally bagged of green coffee. Roasted my first batch with my trusty SR500 roaster to just before the second crack. I noticed the beans are fresh and still has significant moisture as the fan did not have any effect for the first 20/30 seconds. The beans are larger than the ones I had and did not get stuck in the plastic filter.
Coffee had significantly more crema , a distinct citrus aroma and smooth, I liked the coffee but it is difficult to rate a coffee when you only have one other to compare with. I will buy this again but also looking forward to try new coffee from another continent.
