Description
Sourced from dear friends at Beneficio San Vicente, this Pacas lot was picked and processed by Natividad Benitez on his farm El Ocotillo in Cielito. Fermented as a traditional washed process using concrete tanks for 24 hrs, then washed and dried, resulting in a clean, crisp profile with pear-like acidity, rooibos, and a date molasses finish. Pacas is a natural mutation from Bourbon where it grows smaller and more compact allowing harvesting to be a little easier and planting to be closer together than would be possible with Bourbon, much like the Caturra variety grown widely in Colombia. Introduced to Honduran coffee farmers by IHCAFE in 1974, the variety was first discovered on a farm in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador, owned by the Pacas family, in 1949.
