The "Pacamara" Pacamara coffee bean is the crystallization of the elephant bean of the iron pickup variety and the Pacas of the bourbon variety. it is also a hybrid, second only to the elephant bean in grain size. In 2007, he won the "CoE" championship of Guatemala and Honduras, and even arranged the top three awards of El Salvador, which is a rising star of El Salvador.

The birth of coffee variety Pacamara (Pacamara coffee bean)

This legendary variety has a strange plant shape and raw bean shape--

Huge leaves / tall trees / huge raw beans.

It is known as the strange variety of the country.

He was so unknown that he even made his debut in the 2003 / 04 COE competition.

Because the judges think the flavor is too strange to give high marks.

Until 2005, COE began to shine.

Direct arrangement of the top four COE of Saudi Arabia in 2006

The COE of Guatemala in 2008-10 is more likely to be Pacamara of Injerto Manor.

The direct champion has been in the village for three years!

From then on, he established the position of being the leader of the raw beans.

Different from naturally evolved varieties such as geisha / bourbon / Tibica.

Pacamara varieties are not naturally evolved or crossed naturally.

It was cultivated by a group of excellent coffee breeders in El Salvador!

In 1958, more than half a century ago,

Genetics and breeding Department of the Salvadoran Coffee Research Center (ISIC)

The variety of bourbon-Pacas (Pacas) was introduced for the first time.

A variety of Tibica-elephant bean / giant bean (Maragogype) variety

To interbreed...

Due to the hybridization of two pure lines

It will produce F1 progeny with a large number of heteroconjugated gene pairs.

(to put it simply, it is a very impure blood.)

The next step is to make self-breeding for many generations.

In order to separate traits / purify genes...

The self-pollination of each generation begins with artificial pollination.

And raise seedlings / colonize / grow up into adults.

This part will take at least 3-4 years!

At the same time, the individual performance of a large number of mutant offspring should be measured.

Selection of potential strains with the required characters

It takes a lot of time and effort...

And then self-hand-in / nurture / selection.

After five generations (F5), it has been 30 years.

Almost cost the career of a young breeder all his life

In order to breed this variety!

But in fact, due to only five generations of self-purification

There will still be a small number of heteroconjugated gene pairs in new varieties.

So some of the traits of Pacamara

Still occasionally separate and reveal that it comes from

The characteristics of Pacas (Pacas) or elephant bean / giant bean (Maragogype).

To be completely purified, I'm afraid it will take another 5 generations!

Good coffee doesn't happen at random.

It seems that a good variety is also a good one.
