New Oriente Region

The characteristics of this region include fertile volcanic soil, low humidity, abundant sunshine, and cool nights. This valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Volcanic ash from eruptions has enriched the soil in the Antigua region with minerals. Volcanic pumice helps retain moisture, overcoming the disadvantage of low rainfall in the Antigua region. Dense tree shade prevents occasional frost damage.

Variety: Pacas

Altitude: 1675 meters

Flavor notes: Passion fruit, strawberry cream sandwich, blueberry

Guatemala is a country with numerous volcanoes, and coffee grown in volcanic soil produces rich, specialty coffee. Guatemala's average altitude is quite high, which means coffee trees grow in environments with significant temperature differences between day and night. This harsh environment of large diurnal temperature variations causes coffee cherries to mature longer and slower on the trees. The beans are hard beans, yet their flavors are more complete and complex.

Characteristics: Rich wet aroma, good balance, high sweetness, elegant and ethereal mouthfeel.

This batch of newly arrived coffee beans comes from the premium estate Candelillas Estate, located in the New Oriente region of Guatemala.

Pacas Variety

Pacas is a natural mutation of Bourbon, similar to Catuora in Brazil and Villa Sarchi in Costa Rica. Like other widely cultivated Bourbon mutations, Pacas is a new variety formed by single-gene mutation, which also gives Pacas a crucial characteristic: plants can be planted more densely, ultimately resulting in higher yields per unit area.

Pacas was first discovered in 1949 by the Pacas family in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador. Fernando Alberto Pacas Figueroa discovered some plants with different morphology on their family's Finca San Rafael estate. He then began collecting seeds and conducting selection breeding, later developing about 3/4 hectare of Pacas "pioneer nursery."

By 1956, Francisco de Sola and Fernando's son, Fernando Alberto Pacas Trujillo, began researching the Pacas variety with the help of Professor William Cogwill in Florida. They compared Bourbon from San Ramon with an "unknown" new variety. This "unknown" variety showed completely different characteristics, with plant morphology different from Bourbon, having shorter internodal spacing and larger fruiting areas. Finally, they named this variety "Pacas."

Guatemala Coffee Overview

Guatemala is a renowned high-quality Arabica coffee-producing country in Central America. Coffee from its five volcanic regions and three non-volcanic regions is very distinctive and enjoys an excellent reputation in the international market.

New Oriente® Region

Coffee in this region has been grown entirely by small farmers since the 1950s. Today, every farmer in the mountainous area is a coffee production unit. This region was once the most remote and poorest area of Guatemala but now shows vibrant vitality. With rainy and cloudy weather, New Oriente was an ancient volcanic region. The soil evolved from volcanic metamorphic rocks, rich in minerals and nutritionally balanced, different from other volcanic coffee regions.
