La historia del café

The Familia Pacas blend was developed by the Pacas family at their mill, Beneficio Vivagua, since the beginning of the pandemic. Seeing the market's uncertainty and contracts being cancelled, the family decided to innovate their drying processes, hire new staff and revamp their portfolio. Part of this revamping was to create ta blend with efficiencies that would allow it to be marketed at more competitive prices.

This coffee come from various farms (the family has 10 farms in total and provides services for another 10) at a minimum altitude of 1.200 m above sea level. It is a Strictly High Grown (SHG) lot with 0 primary defects and up to 12 secondary defects.

This approach doesn't mean the family moved their focus from high-quality coffee. Much the opposite. Their blends continue to yield a great cup of coffee with the sweetness and syrupy body that are characteristic of Salvadoran coffee, especially of the Bourbon variety. Famous for discovering the Pacas variety and later the Bernardina variety,  the family continues to produce a wide range of micro and nano-lots. The specialty micro-lots are separated by farm, variety and process. The nano-lots or "boutique coffees" include exotic varieties, African varieties and special processes which result in outstanding cupping profiles.

"This is the first year we will start drying coffees at the farms, where the temperature and the humidity are lower than at the mill. We installed new raised beds and changed the mesh to a silky screen, allowing the coffee to move easily and preventing the mucilage or skin to be removed during raking. We also hired a specialist in specialty projects in October 2020 to develop new protocols for our honeys and naturals and he brought lots of new ideas," says Maria Pacas. 

El proceso

When the coffee cherries arrive at the mill, they are pulped and fermented for 12 hours. When all the mucilage is released, they are washed and soaked. Parchment is patio dried.
