We've been purchasing coffee from the Los Chelazos growing group since 2020

For years we've been offering pacamara lots from Los Chelazos and we are stoked to share a new super tasty fresh crop lot with you! Originating in El Salvador, the Pacamara is a cross between Maragogype and Pacas varieties and has done exceedingly well in farms throughout this beautiful country. 

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are sweet and hint towards tropical and darker fruit notes. In the cup we are tasting mission fig and pineapple, all wrapped up in a toffee sweetness. If you love sweet, clean coffees from Central America with fruit notes that play nicely in the background, make Los Chelazos your autumn go to!

Transparency

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
