Saul Murcia | El Salvador

Description

High in the mountains of Chalatenango, El Salvador, Saul Murcia grows Pacamara at Finca El Aguacate, around 1,650 metres above sea level. This particular lot comes from Las Ventanas and is naturally processed, with the coffee cherries dried intact around the seeds. This method can bring out an especially expressive, fruit-led character.

Pacamara, a cross between Pacas and Maragogipe, is known for its unusually large beans and distinctive cup profile. In Saul’s hands, it delivers a coffee that feels both playful and precise. Expect the fresh sweetness of honeydew melon and the crisp, juicy character of green grape, rounded out by a bright finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This coffee is a natural fit for our Vibrant & Fruity category- a chance to experience the personality of Pacamara, the influence of processing, and the character of coffee grown high in the mountains of El Salvador.
