A mysterious breed with an unprecedented taste

"the shape is peculiar and pointed. Or "looks like the teeth of a dragon." "these are not common descriptions of coffee cherries, but sub-ema varieties are not typical coffee. Benjamin Paz's El Dragon grows on the famous Santa Barbara Mountains (Santa Barbara Mountain), overflowing with fragrance, flowers and herbs, each mouthful demonstrating the miracles that can happen when a variety finds an ideal climate.

Benjamin Paz was not always a farmer. He was once called the son of the owner of the dry mill. But as a matchmaker between local farmers and small roasters, Benjamin pushed Mount Santa Barbara into a special coffee country-a place today comparable to some of the world's most famous coffee villages, such as Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia or Boquete in Panama.

It all began with a strangely shaped coffee cherry, which was planted by farmer Ologio Martinez (Eulogio Martinez) on his land. Benjamin helped Olocho isolate the stray cherries and use it to make coffee cups. Benjamin thought the floral coffee was different and prompted Orojo to recommend it to the Honduran Cup of Excellence. They call it "Pacamara" because they don't know what other breed it might be.

There is no other coffee comparable to Orocho's in terms of rating, evaluation, or price per pound. Until then, Benjamin had only focused on guiding the harvest of other farmers during the milling process, and he decided to plant sub-ema, which was higher than the one he had previously planted on his new farm, La Laguneta. After years of focusing on the coffee quality of other farmers, Benjamin is adept at developing unprecedented expressiveness and clarity in sub-ema varieties. When it is cleverly roasted-its huge, rectangular shape is a challenge to lasting caramelization-we have a primitive, beautiful coffee. it's as surprising as a mysterious creature rising from the mist that covers the lush slopes of Mount Santa Barbara.

Unexpected beauty

All this is an ironic turning point for a variety cultivated in Central America decades ago to boost farmers' yields. The name "Parainema" itself is a combination of the Spanish word nematodo of its region of origin Paraiso and nematode. It seems that Elrond, like Santa Barbara and Benjamin Paz, has a lot of stories to tell and a lot of gifts to give.
