This field blend of two different cultivars, predominantly Pacamara and a tiny amount of Pacas. It is produced by the owner of Finca Nacimiento, Jobneel Caceres Dios. It has an intense chocolaty cup profile with subtle notes of herbs and orange peel.

This is the fourth harvest from Jobneel’s new farm named after his mom Bertha, in El Sauce,  not far away from Nacimiento. He planted mainly Pacamara and a little bit of Pacas there a few years ago and the coffee has gradually been improving year after year.

Pacamara is a tricky cultivar that is very sensitive to its growing conditions when it comes to quality. This particular Pacamara is quite subtle in flavour intensity compared to the Pacamaras that we buy from Diego at Los Pirineos in El Salvador.  But it does not mean it is not a good coffee. What I appreciate the most with this Pacamara is its intense dark chocolate flavour and bittersweet lingering finish. An uncomplicated coffee where sweetness and texture is more the focus.
