Additional Information
This coffee is a rare lot separation of the Pacamara coffee varietal grown at Finca El Conejo by Joel and Delmar Banegas. It's been a couple years since we have booked some of their excellent coffees, so we were super excited when we received some samples of this small lot Pacamara varietal they grow. We made sure to secure some before it quickly sold out.
The Pacamara varietal is the 2nd largest size coffee beans that can be found (Margogype are the largest; Pacamara is a hybrid of the Margogype varietal). Roasting these beans present many challenges due to how fast they expand in the roaster where they can easily be ruined during roasting. They tend to require a more careful touch and well thought out roast plan. When you dial these beans in though, this varietal truly offers some special and unique cup characteristics.
In the cup we are getting a nice rounded caramel like sweetness, balanced out by a juicy apple/pear like acidity with a silky texture and really pleasant long lingering finish. We have a very limited amount of this coffee that we brought in, but wanted to launch this amazing lot as an option for the holiday season. Those looking for the perfect gift for the coffee enthusiast or just want a special treat for yourselves be sure to snag some of this one while it lasts!
