Flavor Description

Compared with honey or natural versions, this washed Pacamara reveals the variety’s shape more clearly. Expect yellow peach, citrus, and honey sweetness on the front, a touch of white floral character and creamy texture in the middle, and a long clean finish.

Why It’s Popular

Pacamara remains El Salvador’s most recognizable headline variety, and the washed style makes its varietal character easier to understand. That makes it a favorite in specialty coffee.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Recommended water temperature 91–93°C with a medium-fine grind
  • Iced pour over: Also works very well, preserving bright fruit sweetness
