The home of Bourbon and Pacamara
El Salvador is a rare origin where Bourbon — prized for its flavor potential — is said to account for over 60% of plantings. In 1949, Pacas, a natural Bourbon mutation, was discovered on the Pacas family farm. Then in 1958 a national research institute crossed Pacas with Maragogipe to breed Pacamara — large-beaned and expressive. Pacamara is now one of Central America’s flagship specialty varieties, and that its home is El Salvador is a point of pride in the country’s coffee history.
