From Tim Wendelboe

The Pacas cultivar from finca Nacimiento produces a coffee with a fruity and sweet cup profile. Expect flavours of ripe red berries with a herbal finish.

For a long time we have asked Jobneel to separate his coffees by cultivar and harvest date. As a result we have not only gotten coffees with different flavour profiles due to the variations in cultivars but we have also noticed that the flavour intensity tend to increase from the start of the harvest in January / February towards the end of the harvest in June. This is most likely due to the later pickings are harvested from the higher altitudes on the farm.

This particular lot is coming from the higher part of finca Nacimiento and is from the first picking of the year. The altitude in this part of the farm is around 1700-1800 meters above sea level and since the climate is a bit cooler here the cherries spend more time ripening on the trees. You clearly get a more fruity cup profile from this area with distinct and complex red berry flavours and a winey acidity.
