Blind Assessment
Round nutty aroma, with a touch of smokiness and cedar. In the cup sweet, balanced acidity, medium body, creamy mouthfeel, softly fruity sweetness, hints of pine and chocolate. Mild nut and chocolate notes carry into the finish.
Notes
The Pacamara variety, a cross between the giant-beaned Maragogipe variety and Pacas, a selection of the heirloom Bourbon, has proven to produce exceptional coffee on many El Salvador farms. This coffee is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning it was produced following sustainable ecological and socio-economic criteria developed by the Sustainable Agricultural Network, a coalition of independent, environment-focused non-governmental organizations.
