About the Pacamara Variety

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

The origin of the variety and its name: It is a hybrid variety derived from the Elephant Bean Maragogype and Pacas. The name "Pacamara" combines the first 4 letters of Maragogype and Pacas. It is an excellent coffee variety developed in El Salvador. The coffee beans are very large, similar to Elephant Beans, approximately 21-22 screen size. It has been an outstanding coffee variety in Central and South America in recent years. Every country or farm hopes to find suitable areas for growing this variety to produce excellent coffee, similar to Panama's Geisha. The characteristics of Pacamara coffee include bright fruit acidity and exceptionally pure and delicate sweetness.

Although Pacamara's appearance is 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 El Injerto, and El Salvador's 2008 runner-up Pacamara Estate. These are all excellent Pacamara representatives, but they are all award-winning batches, making them very expensive.

World's Coffee Estate—El Injerto Estate

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

Estate Introduction

El Injerto Estate is located in Guatemala's famous Huehuetenango Highlands. The Aguirre family has been cultivating coffee since 1900. The estate's name "Injerto" comes from a local fruit name. El Injerto Estate pays special attention to 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 received 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 current achievements. Last year, the estate owner further elevated the estate's status to new heights. Like Panama's famous La Esmeralda Estate, El Injerto Estate (Grafting Estate) holds global bidding events. Of course, the competition lots they offer are exceptional. Notably, the first batch of "Mocha variety" in 2012 set a world record, being sold at the astronomical price of "$500.5 per pound," becoming a well-deserved star estate!

For this competition, El Injerto Estate specially launched the "BEST El Injerto" series, carefully selecting small quantities of high-quality batches and coffee varieties from within the estate. Experienced farmers meticulously pick 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.
