Flavor Description
Pacamara is often used in Central America for high-impact specialty lots. This natural from Matagalpa opens with pineapple, yellow mango, and papaya aromatics, then moves into raisin and cane-sugar sweetness. The body is full without becoming muddy, and as the cup cools it develops a rum-raisin-like ripe fruit finish.
Cupping Impression
It is less wild than some Ethiopian naturals, keeping the clarity and sweetness Nicaragua is known for. That makes the tropical fruit character feel balanced and accessible rather than overly fermented.
Brewing Notes
- Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, water temperature 90°C, ratio 1:15 to 1:15.5
- Tip: Keep total brew time around 2:20–2:40 to focus the tropical fruit notes and avoid a muddy finish
