To become the new master, he is determined to set out his own characteristics. His family has been engaged in coffee in the beautiful Apaneca's mountains since his grandfather's time. It has been more than a hundred years since. Pacamara is a new species developed by sa and produced by Pacas and elephant bean Maragogype. Eduardo found that this new species is not only big and beautiful in appearance, but also excellent in flavor and aroma under excellent local conditions. He decided to plant Pacamara and began to harvest. But found to be a hard task, because the initial harvest, the number of cherries is not enough, coupled with the washing plant in the peeling meat through the sieve, because the Pacamara bean shape is too large, must be dealt with separately leads to very low willingness, Eduardo must ask the washing field or even come down to help, at that time many washing plants have not yet ordered a large mesh screen, naturally do not want to deal with this kind of coffee cherries.

In 1990, the cooperative "Sociedad Cooperativa Ahuasanta" was willing to deal with all his Pacamara species and signed a contract with him. Great progress was made only when Eduardo Francisco used ripe planting techniques to harvest mature coffee cherries and careful post-harvest treatment to make the Pacamara species of Pacamaral Manor shine brilliantly. It won 24th place in 2003, seventh place in 2005 and runner-up in 2008.
