New Oriente Region

Rich volcanic soil, lower humidity, abundant sunshine, and cool nights are the characteristic features of this producing region. 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 drawback of low rainfall in the Antigua region; dense shade protects against occasional frost damage.

Variety: Pacas

Altitude: 1675 meters

Flavor notes: Passion fruit, strawberry cream sandwich cookies, blueberry

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

Characteristics

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

This newly arrived coffee bean comes from the top-tier Cardenas Estate, located in the New Oriente region of Guatemala.

Wine Aroma Natural Flavor Profile

Pineapple, muskmelon, dried apricots, candied lemon peel, Bordeaux wine, green tea with cinnamon spices, overall filled with rich sweetness and full-bodied smoky plum aroma.

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

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 morphological characteristics on their family's Finca San Rafael estate, and he began collecting seeds and conducting selection breeding. Later, they developed 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 Florida professor William Cogwill. 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 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 a high 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 Guatemala's most remote and poorest area but now shows vibrant vitality. With abundant rainfall and cloudy weather, New Oriente was an ancient volcanic region where soil evolved from volcanic metamorphic rocks, making it rich in minerals and nutritionally balanced, unlike other volcanic coffee regions.
