Pacamara is a rare and precious variety developed in El Salvador; its flavor is full, rich and changeable, apricot, fragrant.

There are few varieties of coffee due to the variety of taste changes, such as grass plants, tropical fruits, chocolate, sweet spices and so on.

It has bright sour fruit but strong sweetness; but just like other large beans, it is produced.

The quantity is relatively rare.

The origin of the name Pacamara is a variety derived from Maragogype and Pacas Pacas.

The first four letters of Maragogype and Pacas are combined respectively, and the size of the particles is similar to that of elephant beans.

With a maximum of 22 mesh, it is the best variety of coffee in Central and South America.
