Pacas Variety
The Pacas variety is unique to El Salvador, it´s a mutation that occurred naturally to the Bourbon varietal in the late 1940s. Pacas make up about 25% of the country's coffee production. With its soft and fruity cup, it has been an award winner in El Salvador.
Natural Process
Most coffee we are used to drinking is washed coffee. In the washed method, the coffee cherry is picked off the tree, depulped separating outer cherry from inner seed, washed to remove mucilage, fermented for 8-12 hours, and later set out to sun dry on a patio.
Natural process coffee, the cherry is picked from the coffee tree, and the cherry is then fermented from 8-36 hours, and then set out to dry in its cherry on raised drying beds. Keeping the coffee in cherry allows all the sugars to adhere to the coffee bean (seed) and once roasted it gives the coffees sweet, fruity, and winey flavors
