About the Pacamara Variety

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

The variety and its name originated from Maragogype (elephant bean) and Pacas derivatives. Taking the first 4 letters of Maragogype and Pacas and combining them creates "Pacamara." It is an excellent coffee variety developed in El Salvador, with coffee beans that are very large, similar to elephant beans, about 21-22 screen size. It has been an outstanding coffee variety in Central and South America in recent years, with every country or farm hoping to find suitable areas for growing this variety to produce excellent coffee, similar to how Panama treats its Geisha. The characteristics of Pacamara coffee include bright fruit acidity and very delicate, pure sweetness.

Although the appearance of Pacamara is still quite similar to its cousin—the elephant bean variety. Since 2006, COE has cupped 30 estates' Pacamara, with some flavors truly belonging to superstars, such as Honduras' 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. These are all excellent representatives of Pacamara, but they are all award-winning batches, therefore the prices are very expensive.

Brewing Method

Hand-poured Injerto: 15g of coffee, medium grind (Fuji Royal grinder with ghost teeth burrs, setting 4), V60 dripper, water temperature 88-89°C. First pour with 30g of water for 27-second bloom, then pour to 105g and pause. Wait until the water level drops to half, then continue pouring slowly until reaching 225g. Discard the tail end. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

Plant Characteristics

Pacamara plants are medium to tall with short internodes, large corrugated dark green leaves, with new leaves appearing green or brown. The trunk is hard and sturdy, with thick branches.

More lateral branches than Typica, similar to Pacas

The cherry has a small protrusion at the flower disc location.

The coffee beans are large and oval-shaped, approximately 1.03 cm in length, 0.71 cm in width, and 0.37 cm in thickness.

Depending on altitude, Pacamara beans are about 70% the size of Maragogype beans.

Overall, almost all Pacamara beans are above 17 screen size, with over 90% being above 18 screen size.

Flavor Profile

Pacamara offers full, rich, and complex flavors. Few coffee varieties have both fruit acidity while maintaining prominent sweetness, with diverse notes of stone fruits, vanilla plants, tropical fruits, chocolate, and spice sweetness.

El Injerto Estate - A World-Class Coffee Farm

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

Estate Introduction

El Injerto Estate is located in the famous Huehuetenango highlands of Guatemala. The Aguirre family has been growing coffee there since 1900. The estate name "Injerto" comes from a local fruit name. El Injerto Estate places special emphasis on ecological protection and organic farming 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 champion in many international coffee competitions since 2002.

El Injerto Estate (also translated as Grafting Estate) is one of 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 current achievements. Last year, the estate owner further elevated their estate's status to new heights. Like Panama's famous Hacienda La Esmeralda, El Injerto Estate holds global bidding competitions. Of course, the competition beans they offer are exceptionally impressive. Notably, the 2012 first batch "Mocha variety" set a world record, being auctioned at the astronomical price of "$500.5/pound USD," becoming a truly star-studded estate!

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