Pacas is the Salvadoran response to Caturra. In 1949, a natural mutation of the Bourbon with a lower and more compact plant appeared on a Pas family farm. As Caturra in Brazil, it allowed more trees to be planted and harvested more easily.

His greatest fame, however, comes from his offspring: when he crossed it with Maragogipe, Pacamara was born, one of the most striking varieties of specialty coffee.

In the cup, Pacas is sweet and balanced, like the Bourbon from which it comes. Nice coffee, no stridences.

Father: Bourbon.
Famous descendant: Pacamara.
A compact, rosesensitive plant.

It's a good daily coffee for filter or espresso. Try a Salvadoran Pacas washed in Kalita or Clever Dripper with your own city. If you then try a Pacamara, you'll see how different a daughter of her mother can be.

This coffee bar runs on coffee… literally. And the odd ko‑fi.
