HOT ! El Salvador - Miravalles Estate Pacamara (Washed)

Limited Single-Estate Farm Release

Micro-Roasted to Order | NET WT 12 OZ (340 G)

This Pacamara from the Miravalles family farm in Apaneca, Ahuachapan is a vibrant single-estate expression of one of El Salvador’s most distinctive cultivars. Grown at elevation in volcanic soils, it highlights Pacamara’s hallmark combination of bold presence and refined structure, delivering clarity, sweetness, and layered complexity rooted in place.

Carefully washed and dried on raised beds, this estate lot presents a juicy, syrupy cup with bright citrus lift and balanced depth. Notes of lime and golden plum lead, supported by caramelized sweetness, subtle green herb nuance, and hints of chocolate-caramel and toasted sugar. The body is smooth and medium-weighted, with a clean, lingering finish that reflects both the cultivar’s expressive nature and the farm’s meticulous stewardship.

The Farmer Details

Sourced from the Miravalles family farm in Apaneca, Ahuachapan, El Salvador. Owned by Luis Duarte and Tete Chacón, managed with care by their son Luis Jr. and longtime manager Chico, the farm spans 1,250–1,550 m elevation and is meticulously maintained to keep cultivars separate, including Bourbon, Pacas, and Pacamara. This lot of Pacamara is hand-harvested, wet-processed, and carefully raised on sun-dried beds to preserve its juicy sweetness and bright fruit character.
