Farm to Shore: “The Story Behind the Cup”
We just can’t get enough of De La Finca’s family farms! This coffee is a new one for us coming from Delmer & Joel Banegas, cousins of DLF’s owner, Nelson Amador. Their farm, Finca El Conejo (The Rabbit’s Farm) is one of the few farms in Honduras’s Comayagua region focused on experimental cultivars and coffee processing. This coffee is one of their microlots featuring the popular Pacamara cultivar.
Pacamara is a hybrid of the Pacas and Maragoype varieties. Maragoype is a natural mutation of the ancient Typica variety which resulted in enormous beans with excellent flavor but with poor production. Pacas traces its lineage from the storied Bourbon variety and is known for being a hardy plant with high yield and vibrant cup quality. Together, the two were a match made in heaven and the resulting Pacamara beans are highly sought after by farmers and coffee drinkers alike!
Historically, Pacamaras has been processed as a fully washed coffee that results in a clean, yet savory profile. A few years ago the brothers decided to experiment with a natural process and it’s safe to say it was incredibly successful. (If you know, you know.) The sun-dried natural process highlighted the deep sweetness & complexity within the hybrid variety. Enjoy big pops of bubblegum, raspberry and milk chocolate.
