Introduction to the Coffee Manor-Latisia Manor in the Apaneca volcanic area of Western El Salvador

About Pakamara.

The highest grade of Salvadoran coffee is SHG (Strictly High Grown) or SHB (Strictly Hard Bean). One of the characteristics of coffee in El Salvador is the variety of coffee trees, from the bourbon series to classical coffee trees. The coffee trade in El Salvador is mainly carried out by a small number of wealthy farmers with many farms, while small-scale farms and workers are harmed. But the democratization movement and decades of civil strife have changed everything, especially the improvement of coffee quality and the activation of small farms.

Pacamara was bred in 1957 by Salvadoran agricultural scientists taking into account factors such as the size of coffee beans. The San Leticia Manor is located in the Apaneca volcanic area west of El Salvador, with an average elevation of 1400 meters above sea level. The geology belongs to sandy soil and volcanic soil, the soil is fertile, and the warm and humid climate with an average annual rainfall of more than 2000 mm is considered to be the best producing area for growing coffee in El Salvador.

Although Pacamara is a cross between elephant beans and bourbon variety Pacas, it inherits elephant beans with a large body, far better than other Arabica, and its flavor is described as varied by the cup test. In Cuscacbapa in El Salvador, packaged coffee beans are about to be exported to El Salvador. Coffee from El Salvador is a specialty of Central America, where it is light, fragrant, pure and slightly sour. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, caffeine in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pipil, the Azbec Mayan name for coffee, which has been approved by the American Organic Certification Society (Organic Certified Institute of America). Another rare coffee is Pacamara, a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogype. The best place to produce the coffee is in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkkara coffee is full of particles, but not very fragrant.
