Pacamara, La Gloria (varietal Series)

la gloria is located just up the road from el porvenir sharing a very similar terrior. la gloria is owned by husband and wife luis and majo (maria-jose) rodriguez. the farm is named after majo's mother gloria who owns el porvenir which we also buy coffee from. this coffee is a separated pacamara varietal—a hybrid of the maragogipe and pacas variety that has become incredibly popular over the past few years in specialty coffee, particularly in el salvador where much work and development of the varietal has occurred. the beans are very large in size yet low in density, making it one of the more complicated coffees to roast.
