Candied Lime, Ел Салвадор

Summary

This Pacamara comes from Finca Talquesalar, owned and run by Irene del Socorro Sosa in the Chalatenango region of northern El Salvador, an area known for cooler temperatures, high elevations, and some of the country's most expressive microlots. The farm sits at 1,400 masl and is planted with a small but diverse mix of varieties, including Pacamara and Gesha, alongside citrus trees. The coffee is honey processed: cherries are picked ripe, depulped on the day of harvest, and dried with their mucilage intact on raised African beds for 18–27 days. In the cup, it opens with cacao and toffee, followed by golden raisin sweetness and a fresh lime lift. The acidity is tangy but integrated, supporting a creamy mouthfeel and a long, fruit-sweet finish.
