What Central Coast Coffee say
Tropical Fruit Forward Lush
Paints a picture of rich and vibrant tropical fruit flavours within the context of a fruit-forward coffee profile. It conveys a sense of abundance and lushness in the fruity characteristics of the coffee. This coffee is treasured for its complexity and multidimensional taste profile. In addition to the fruitiness, you will experience floral lactic and even nutty undernotes. This complexity adds depth and character to the coffee profile.
About Pacamara
The Pacamara coffee varietal is a creation of the Salvadoran Institute for Coffee Research (ISIC) back in 1958, which resulted from the crossing of the Pacas and Maragogipe varietals. We emphasise the notes that should stand out in the process: Dark Chocolate, Red Berries, Sweetness. The art of this Pacamara lies in achieving a balanced flavour profile. While the fruitiness is the highlight, it is harmoniously balanced with other elements like sweetness, body and a clean finish. This is the mark of Tatan Gasca.
