Washed Process

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are sweet and chocolatey. In the cup there is a lovely malic acidity dancing around notes of peach and caramel apple. Sweet, balanced and just right for waking you up to the cooler fall mornings!

Elevation

We've been offering Vicente's pacamara for a number of years now and are happy to share it again with you.

El Salvador proudly boasts the creation of the pacamara variety which is a cross between the pacas and maragogipe varieties. First created in 1958, pacamaras are now one of the most common varieties found in El Salvador, known for their excellent quality (and quite large seed size).

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
