This year’s pacamara variety separation from Montecarlos continues to exemplify what unique plant genetics can bring to the cup. Expect many of the deeply sweet flavors we’ve come to love from this coffee: butterscotch and brown butter complimented by rich cocoa and toasted almonds, all nicely balanced by a subtle orange-like acidity.

Montecarlos Pacamara
Carlos Batres inherited Montecarlos in the mid-1980s. The fifth generation of his family to steward this land, Batres has made Montecarlos his life’s work. Having immediately grasped the marketing potential of the pacamara variety, Carlos purchased much of the early pacamara plant material from the El Salvadorian government and successfully produced the world’s first commercial harvest of pacamara in 1992-93. This pacamara selection from the 2022 harvest is impeccably sweet and clean: a beautiful testament to the continuation of Carlos and Julie’s inspiring project at Montecarlos.
