About Pacamara Roasted Coffee Varietal

Pacamara is a hybrid varietal created by crossing Pacas and Maragogipe varieties, resulting in beans of exceptional size and distinctive flavor characteristics. This varietal thrives in the high-altitude conditions of our Matagalpa estate, producing beans that are both visually striking and flavor-forward.

Our Estate & Process

Grown at 1,200+ meters above sea level in the renowned Matagalpa region, these beans benefit from ideal growing conditions including rich volcanic soil, optimal rainfall, and perfect temperature variations. Our washed processing method highlights the coffee's inherent flavors while maintaining clarity and brightness in the cup.
