Description and treatment of flavor and taste of El Salvador Pacamara boutique coffee

Pacamara is full of flavor and rich and varied, which is rare in other varieties. For example, in addition to fruity and rich taste, it also has many variations such as apricot, vanilla, tropical fruit, chocolate and spice sweetness. But there are two good things, mature pacamara coffee trees will show a gradual decline in yield or occasional instability of flavor, soil and microclimate requirements are also high, planted in the wrong place, will be slightly less clean and have a bad wood smell. The owner of Santa Maria Manor, winner of the Excellence Cup in Honduras, analyzed with me that the baked beans that like Pacamara should be carefully selected to avoid stepping on the mines of the old bear Pacamara.

When it comes to the Pakamara species in Sa, we must first introduce Pakamara Manor. In 1984, Farnesco, Ecuador, bought the Pacamara coffee plantation and became the new owner. The Farnesco family has been cultivating coffee in the Apaneca Mountains for more than 100 years since their grandparents. Ecuador wanted to go a different way from his grandparents and decided to plant a new strain, Pacamara, which had just been developed by the agricultural technology unit in Saudi Arabia. He found that this new strain had a large and beautiful appearance and could display good flavor and aroma under excellent terroir conditions. He found new hope, found the star of the future in mind, did not expect the first harvest is the beginning of hard work.

Pacamara beans are too large and often get stuck in holes or gaps in the machine during peeling and separation in the processing yard. The machine must be adjusted from time to time for separate processing. Due to the limited initial yield of Pakamara and the rarity of large fruits in Samoa, most washing plants lack experience in handling large coffee fruits, not to mention preparing extra large mesh screens to specifically handle Pakamara species, and naturally are reluctant to handle new species. The problem of post-harvest wet treatment was solved only when the Avasan Cooperative in 1990 showed goodwill and agreed to sign a contract with Ecuador. Ecuador has no worries, with more skilled planting techniques, harvesting coffee cherries with consistent maturity, and careful post-harvest treatment, finally let Pakamara seeds of Pakamara Estate shine! 24 in 2003, 7th in 2005 and runner-up in 2008. That year, it was me and Maruyama Coffee of Japan who jointly bid for this runner-up batch.

The introduction of new varieties is ultimately a laborious and high-risk attempt, not to mention the high probability of failure, if successful, everyone will follow, but if you do not try innovation, never wait for the opportunity to succeed, coffee farmers all kinds of suffering, less than outsiders Bourbon is already the largest variety in Saudi Arabia, the national planting rate is as high as 60%, Saudi Bourbon fruit has four colors red yellow orange a small amount of pink Bourbon. Pacamara is a new variety of large grain, which is artificially cultivated by Pacas and Elephantou. Pakamara originated in Sa, but its production is much less than Bourbon. The Saskatchewan Coffee Council promotes Saskatchewan bourbon beans with the marketing slogan of smiling drinking, plus the logo of smiling, and strengthens the impression of Saskatchewan's strong and good beans with Pakamara, which is constantly in the limelight in the Cup of Excellence. The two varieties compete for the championship title in the national competition. The top ten finals of the Cup of Excellence each year, Bourbon vs Pakamara, which variety is the champion? The constant discussion also caused neighboring countries to follow the trend of scrambling to seed Pakamara.

Since 2006, in the process of bean search and bean identification, I and the international judges of Osher have tested the Pacamara species of 30 quality estates. In fact, there are many superstars in the fine coffee circle, including Santa Maria, winner of Honduras in 2006, Montenegro Estate, 3rd place in Saudi Arabia in 2007, Inkert, winner of Guatemala in 2008, and Pacamara Estate, runner-up in Saudi Arabia. Including, of course, the 2012 champion of Saudi Arabia, Bloomas Manor.
