Brief introduction of El Salvador Pacamara Coffee in Qianjie

The Pacamara, bred by El Salvador in the late 1950s, is a hybrid of Pacas and Marago Gippe and is now in high demand. Similar to Maragogippe, it is large-usually twice the size of standard bourbon beans-but produces mediocre yields. Pacamara is widely praised for its clean acidity and fresh scent of flowers, and the higher the altitude, the more advantageous it is to plant it.

So how was Pacamara nurtured?

The Pacamara was developed in 1958 by ISIC, a coffee research institute in El Salvador, and is a mixture of Pacas Pacas and elephant bean Maragogipe.

Pacas is a natural variant of the bourbon variety, which is studied by scientists at the University of Florida. Pacas's tree is small and narrowly spaced, thus developing dense leaves that help combat harsh climatic conditions such as strong winds, sunshine and heavy rain. Not only that, it also has strong disease resistance, is subject to many growth conditions, and the yield is also very high.

Elephant beans are a natural variety of Tibica. Coffee trees like beans are very tall and produce huge fruit seeds. Although the yield is not high, the flavor performance is very good. The inspiration of the Pacamara hybrid is to combine the advantages of the above two varieties and take it from the first half of the English names of Pacas and Elephant beans. The Pacamara took about 30 years of scientific research to develop, and it was not until the late 1980s that it was planted by farmers.

Is there anything special about the flavor of Pacamara?

Pacamara has a complex and strong aroma, medium-thick, creamy taste, elegant acidity with chocolate and cream-like sweetness, and then transformed into fruit flavors, such as citrus, raspberries, drupes and so on.

Pacamara is a medium-sized tree with thick leaves, short nodes and large leaves. The fruit is long and has small protuberances, and the seeds are large and oval.
