The variety Pacamara, which was artificially bred by pacas and maragogipe (or maragogype), was first bred in 1958 (1954). Pacamara species is a rare artificial breeding of excellent varieties, blue is better than blue, perfectly inheriting the advantages of the mother plant, both the excellent taste of pacas species, raw bean granules also inherited the large size of malagogipe. The Pacamara species is thought to be the result of the pursuit of large Arabica species.
