Last Updated: 2024/09/17, Pacas (Pacas): a variety of bourbon found in El Salvador. In 1935, Salvadoran coffee farmer Pacas selected high-capacity varieties of San Ramon bourbon (San Ramon bourbon) to be planted on farms. In 1956, a friend found that the amount of bourbon in his farm was higher than that of the same kind of coffee tree, so he asked a professor from the University of Florida to identify it and confirm that the bourbon had a genetic mutation.

Pacas (Pacas): a variety of bourbon found in El Salvador. In 1935, Salvadoran coffee farmer Pacas selected high-capacity varieties of San Ramon bourbon (San Ramon bourbon) to be planted on farms. In 1956, a friend found that the amount of bourbon in his farm was higher than that of the same kind of coffee tree, so he asked a professor at the University of Florida to identify it, confirmed that there was a genetic mutation in bourbon, and named the new variety after the farm's evaluation, "Pacas." Because of its high yield and good quality, Pacas is very popular in Central America and plays the role of a "stallion" of an improved breed. In El Salvador, 68 per cent are bourbon, 29 per cent are Pacas and the other 3 per cent are just Kaduai, Kaddura and the noble Pacamara.
