Producer overview
The Pacas family operates coffee production across the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region of El Salvador. Their farms are situated in the Canton Lomas de San Marcelino and Cerro Verde areas of Santa Ana, with coffee cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1355 to 1600 meters.
The family manages a diverse varietal landscape. While they grow traditional cultivars such as Red Bourbon, Bourbon, Orange Bourbon, and the Pacas variety, they also maintain significant plantings of Pacamara and other rare or proprietary cultivars.
Their process portfolio is broad, reflecting a focus on both traditional and experimental techniques. The catalog includes natural, washed, and honey-processed lots, alongside anaerobic washed and anaerobic natural treatments.
The index tracks 31 total coffees from the Pacas family, with representation across two roasters. Recent catalog entries include the San Joaquin Red Bourbon processed as honey and natural, the El Retiro Bernardina processed as anaerobic honey, and the La Esperanza Bernardina processed as double anaerobic washed.
The Pacas family is distinguished in the catalog by their wide range of processing techniques and their cultivation of the Bernardina variety.
