Introduction to the Origin, Development, History, and Culture of Guatemala's El Injerto Estate Pacamara Pandora Fatima

About the Pacamara Variety

Pacamara gained worldwide fame through the Cup of Excellence (COE) in 2004, frequently winning championships within 2-3 years. The Pacamara produced by Guatemala's El Injerto estate set a record price of $80.2 per pound of green beans in 2008.

Origin of the Variety and Name

Pacamara is a hybrid variety derived from Maragogype (Elephant Bean) and Pacas, taking the first four letters from each parent name to form "Pacamara." It is an excellent coffee variety developed in El Salvador, with coffee beans that are very large, similar to Elephant Beans, measuring approximately 21-22 mesh. It has been an outstanding coffee variety in Central and South America in recent years, with every country or farm hoping to find suitable regions for growing this variety to produce excellent coffee, similar to how Panama cultivates Geisha.

Pacamara coffee is characterized by bright fruit acidity and exceptionally pure, delicate sweetness. Although the Pacamara variety's appearance is quite similar to its cousin—the Elephant Bean variety.

Since 2006, COE has cupped Pacamara from 30 estates, with some flavors truly belonging to superstars, such as Honduras's 2006 champion Santa Martha, El Salvador's 2007 third-place Cerro Negro (Black Mountain Estate), Guatemala's regular COE champion estate El Injerto, and El Salvador's 2008 runner-up Pacamara estate. All of these represent exceptional Pacamara examples, but they are all award-winning batches, making them very expensive.

Pacamara offers full, rich, and complex flavors. Few coffee varieties possess both fruit acidity while maintaining noticeable sweetness, with diverse flavor notes including drupe fruits, vanilla plants, tropical fruits, chocolate, and spice sweetness.

The World's Coffee Estate - El Injerto

There are over ten thousand coffee estates worldwide, including those producing commercial coffee beans, high-quality coffee bean estates, and estates growing rare coffee varieties. Today, I'd like to introduce you to the renowned top-tier coffee estate from Guatemala - El Injerto.

Estate Introduction

El Injerto Estate is located on the famous Huehuetenango plateau in Guatemala. The Aguirre family has been growing coffee there since 1900. The estate's name "Injerto" comes from a local fruit name. El Injerto Estate places special emphasis on ecological environmental protection and organic cultivation techniques, implementing strict quality control to ensure the quality of green coffee beans. Through the Aguirre family's efforts, El Injerto Estate has also earned Rainforest Alliance certification and has been a frequent winner in many international coffee competitions since 2002.

El Injerto Estate (also translated as Grafting Estate) is among the top estates in Guatemala. If it claims to be second, probably no one would dare to claim first! It has won many world-class competition awards, leading to its achievements today. Last year, the estate owner further elevated their estate's status to new heights. Similar to Panama's famous Hacienda La Esmeralda, El Injerto Estate (Grafting Estate) holds global competitive bidding events. Of course, the competition beans they offer are exceptionally impressive. Notably, the first batch of "Mocha variety" in 2012 set a world record, reaching an astonishing price of "$500.5/pound USD," truly making it a star estate!

For this competition, El Injerto Estate specially presented their "BEST El Injerto" series, carefully selecting small batches of exceptional quality and coffee varieties from within the estate. Experienced farmers meticulously select ripe coffee cherries, after which cuppers eliminate batches that don't meet quality standards. Under such strict selection criteria, Pacamara varieties from El Injerto Estate account for only about 8% of total production.
