This medium roast emphasises Pacamara’s structural clarity while bringing out dessert-like flavours of chocolate and amaretti biscuit. A caramelised sweetness supports the foundation, layered with dried fruit and candied lemon zest. The extended roast develops depth, caramelising while preserving balance. A silky mouthfeel runs through the profile, and the finish is smooth with a lingering cocoa quality.

This micro-lot comes from San Antonio, the farm of Johny Javier Lemus. Over the past decade he has refined his processing to emphasise balance and clarity in his coffees and by choosing a washed process, Johny’s coffee is a Pacamara in its most transparent form. Structure, dessert-like sweetness and refreshing citrus notes are hallmarks of washed Chalatenango coffees, and this lot captures them in one.
