Pacamara – Whole Bean

$21.95

Pacamara is one of our elite and most prized varietals, cupping at an official SCA score of 87 points. Representing top-end quality from Finca Peña Blanca, it is harvested in limited quantities. This harvest, it has quickly become a customer favorite.

Grown under the cloud-forest canopy of Sierra de las Minas, El Progreso, and fully spring-water washed, this is strictly an enthusiast’s coffee. Pacamara is sensitive and highly responsive to preparation: slight adjustments to grind size, water temperature, or brewing technique will noticeably shift its character in the cup. Exploring how it opens up makes drinking it a genuine experience.

In the roastery, we roast it in small batches, medium on the light side. We take the batch just long enough to caramelize natural sugars, while pulling it in time to allow delicate aromatics to remain intact. The resulting cup opens with tropical ripe pineapple, aromatic floral lavender, and a crisp lime finish.

The Enthusiast’s Dial-In

  • Recommended Ratio: 1:16.6 (e.g., 18g coffee to 300g water).

  • Pour-Over (V60 / Chemex / Kalita): Medium grind at a 1:16.6 ratio. Highlights explosive lavender aromatics, juicy ripe pineapple, and vibrant lime clarity.

  • Immersion (French Press / AeroPress): Medium-coarse grind. Shifts the profile toward deeper caramelized sugars, candied citrus, and a heavier, velvety mouthfeel.
