In the world of specialty coffee, there are relationships that transcend mere transactions. These connections are woven with threads of shared history, mutual respect, and a passion for excellence. Our journey with the Pacas Family is a testament to this bond—a narrative that intertwines the rich tapestry of their coffee legacy with our pursuit of exceptional flavors and experiences.
Stepping foot onto the Pacas estate for the first time, we were immediately struck by Maria and Alfredo's profound connection to their coffee trees. It was akin to witnessing a family reunion—each tree cherished, nurtured, and revered. As we explored their traditional growing methods, one thing remained constant: the distinct sweetness present in every cup of Pacas coffee. This profile, rooted in generations of expertise, captivated our senses and ignited our passion for their coffees.
But our relationship with the Pacas Family extends beyond the coffee itself. Maria and Alfredo take immense pride in their dynasty, tracing their coffee lineage back through five generations. Their grandmother's legacy as a pioneering coffee farmer in El Salvador laid the groundwork for the family's ascent in the industry. Today, as they steward the Pacas Family Estates, Maria and Alfredo prioritize not only quality but also the well-being of their workers. Their personal interest in their employees' lives reflects a commitment to social responsibility and community empowerment—a philosophy we wholeheartedly admire.
Within the sprawling expanse of the Pacas estate lies the Esperanza Farm, where two exceptional coffees flourish: the Mokka Incunable and the Original Heirloom. The Mokka variety, hailing from the island of Maui in Hawaii, captivates with its visibly smaller beans and heavily structured body. Meanwhile, the Original Heirloom, a natural heirloom variety, boasts an incredible profile that exemplifies the harmonious marriage of terroir and cultivation.

As we savor each sip of Pacas coffee, we're reminded of the enduring partnership forged through shared values and a relentless pursuit of excellence. The Pacas Family's legacy, rooted in tradition yet propelled by innovation, continues to inspire us on our quest for extraordinary flavors and experiences. Together, we celebrate the timeless artistry of coffee cultivation and the enduring bonds that unite us in our shared passion.
