The World's Coffee Estate - El Injerto

There are over ten thousand coffee estates worldwide, including those that produce commercial coffee beans, high-quality coffee bean estates, and estates that grow rare coffee varieties. Today, let me introduce you to the renowned top-tier coffee estate from Guatemala - El Injerto Estate.

Estate Introduction

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

El Injerto Estate (also translated as Graft 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 today's achievements. Last year, the estate owner further elevated their estate's status to new heights. Like Panama's famous Emerald Estate, El Injerto Estate (Graft Estate) holds global bidding competitions. Of course, the competition beans they release are exceptionally remarkable. Notably, the first batch of "Mocha variety" in 2012 set a world record, being auctioned at the astronomical price of "$500.5/pound USD," becoming a truly deserving star estate!

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

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 Graft Estate set an astronomical price of $80.2 per pound of green beans in 2008. The origin of the variety and its name: It is a derived variety from the giant bean Maragogype and Pacas, taking the first 4 letters of Maragogype and Pacas to form Pacamara. It is an excellent coffee variety developed in El Salvador. The coffee beans are very large, similar to giant beans at about 21-22 screen size. It has been an outstanding coffee variety in Central and South America for the past two years. Every country or farm hopes to find suitable areas for cultivating this variety to produce excellent coffee, like Panama's Geisha. The characteristics of Pacamara coffee include bright fruit acidity and exceptionally pure, delicate sweetness. Although Pacamara's appearance is still quite similar to its cousin - the giant bean variety. Since 2006, COE has cupped Pacamara from 30 estates, some with truly superstar-quality flavors, such as Honduras's 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 Pacamaral Estate. These are all outstanding Pacamara representatives, but they are all award-winning batches, making them very expensive.

Pacamara plants are medium to tall with short internodal spacing, 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 cherries have a small protrusion at the flower disc position.

The coffee beans are large, oval-shaped, approximately 1.03 cm long, 0.71 cm wide, and 0.37 cm thick.

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

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

Pacamara offers full, rich, and complex flavors. Few coffee varieties have both fruit acidity while maintaining distinct sweetness, with diverse changes including stone fruits, vanilla herbs, tropical fruits, chocolate, and spiced sweetness.
