Context
This El Salvador coffee from producer María Zoila Piñeda showcases the Pacamara varietal through North Star Coffee Roasters' careful washed preparation. The roaster identifies apple butter, green grape, and honey in the cup—a combination that leans toward bright acidity and subtle sweetness. Pacamara is a hybrid varietal known for producing coffees with distinctive flavor complexity, and this lot demonstrates the variety's ability to express both stone fruit depth and lighter floral undertones. The washed processing method typically emphasizes clarity, allowing these individual flavor notes to emerge distinctly in the final cup.
