Origin Story

Pacamara is a cross between the petite Pacas and the massive Maragogipe, natural mutations of Bourbon and Typica, respectively. This particular Pacamara comes from the Las Moritas farm on a road less traveled in the world of Guatemalan coffee — the Sierra de las Minas region lies in the country's rugged eastern mountains, and takes its name from the vast deposits of jade and marble mined there for centuries. José Higinio Gómez and his wife Aura Libia de Jesús Gómez have been growing coffee there for more than 30 years. This is the second consecutive season we have sourced this Pacamara varietal lot from Don Higinio and Doña Aura with help from our friends at Los Volcanes Coffee.

Sensory

This coffee is unique in its ability to transform as it cools - the stone fruit sweetness melds beautifully with the tartness that gets better with each sip.
  • Type Single Origin
  • Flavor Profile Apple + Raw Sugar

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
