El Salvador Los Pirineos Black Honey Pacamara

We have been partnering with the Baranoa family and Finca Los Pirineos for over a decade, and they have been running the farm for over a century. Sparkling and delicate with flavors of lychee, pomegranate, and rose hips, this black-honey processed Pacamara variety lot is the first of three coffees that we will be featuring from them this year. Start your day with this delicious light roast coffee from an award-winning farm. DIEGO BARANOA Named in honor of the Pyrenees, the mountain range that serves as a natural border between Spain and France, Finca Los Pirineos is the mountainous divide between the coffee towns of Santiago de María and Berlín, located in central El Salvador on the slopes of Tecapa Volcano. By some accounts, cultivation of coffee on the farm started in 1890, but whatever the exact date, the farm has been owned by the Baraona family for well over a century. Although specializing in heirloom variety Bourbon, an additional 94 varieties of coffee are maturing in a test nursery next to the mill. Initial results of these experimental plots are beginning to come in, with the goal of identifying the best varieties for planting elsewhere on the farm. In the coming years, we look forward to seeing how these new coffee varieties naturalize on the farm.
