Qianjie-introduction of Pacas varieties in El Salvador

Arabica coffee variety Pacas (Pacas)

Pacas belongs to Bourbon strain and is a natural variant of bourbon gene (Mutation). First discovered and selected in El Salvador in 1949, the biggest difference with bourbon is that the plant is shorter, the fruit is clustered, and the yield is the same, but the flavor performance is much better than that of Caturra, a close relative with a short bourbon nickname, so it is often used as the basis of breeding. The most famous case is the hybrid offspring of Pacas and Maragogype-Pacamara.

The active volcanic activity in El Salvador brings mineral-rich volcanic ash to the country. In the soil dominated by volcanic ash, there are more minerals and less organic matter. Therefore, in order to maintain the geographical location and make up for the lack of organic matter, farmers in the country will use the pulp residue of treated coffee beans or organic matter under coffee trees as fertilizer to make up for the lack of organic matter in the soil. Make the planting of coffee trees more able to produce coffee beans with harmonious taste.

El Salvador's most meaningful initiative is to introduce organic agriculture to the world, growing more than 150000 tons of organic coffee each year. Sa coffee has five major producing areas (Apaneca, Central Belt, Chichontepec, Tecapa& Cacahuatique Mountain Range), which are generally distributed in the volcanic ash-covered mountain slopes or plateau areas at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. November to April of the following year is the coffee harvest and harvest season.

As coffee prefers a mild climate, coffee trees are mainly planted in the shade of tall trees (shade grown coffee) in order to avoid excessive temperature and direct sun exposure, affecting the quality of coffee beans.

The coffee beans produced by it belong to Arabica species, which are mainly grown in Pacas and Bourbon, which belong to big beans and have sweet taste and excellent flavor.
