The Pacas coffee variety is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, first discovered in El Salvador. It is named after the Pacas family who identified this unique mutation on their farm in the 1950s. The Pacas variety is renowned for its high yield and resilience to environmental stress, making it particularly well-suited to the diverse climates and altitudes of Central America. Its plants are compact, allowing for denser planting and easier management. In the cup, Pacas coffee is celebrated for its complex and well-balanced profile, often featuring notes of chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit undertones, contributing to its popularity among specialty coffee producers and consumers alike
The Contreras family, led by Rene Contreras, has been a cornerstone of coffee cultivation at their Monte Verde farm in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador for five generations, accumulating nearly 100 years of experience. The farm spans 36 hectares and is planted with 60% Bourbon and 40% Pacas coffee cultivars, benefiting from the rich volcanic soil near the Chingo Volcano.
Their dedication to quality is evident through their use of advanced post-harvest techniques, including washed, honey, and natural processes, which have earned their coffees high praise for their rich, clean, and versatile flavors. These coffees often feature tasting notes of chocolate, caramel, floral, and fruity nuances, making them popular among coffee enthusiasts
