Carlos Pola - El Salvador Pacas Natural
Carlos Pola - El Salvador Pacas Natural
Roaster's Select | El Salvador Pacas Natural Whole Bean 4 oz
This Pacas Natural produced by Carlos Pola is 1 of 3 parts of a complete tasting box we've released just in time for the holidays. Pacas is a natural mutation of Bourbon discovered on the Pacas family farm and known as a classic El Salvadoran variety.
We went a step further to showcase these lots by collaborating with Denver-based Tekwani Design Co. and Genghis Kern to create one-of-a-kind letterpress packaging made from Gmund Bio Cycle paper.
Flavor Category: Fruit-forward
Flavor notes: Certainly the sweetest and most fruit-forward of the 3 with an amazing velvety mouthfeel. Wonderful tropical acidity that shows on cool. Plum, cherry, mango.
About Natural Processing
After ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked, "natural" or "dry" processed coffees are dried on raised beds for 2-3 weeks as full intact cherries. The seeds are separated after drying. The sugars from the cherries contribute to a fruit-forward and full-bodied flavor profile. Pola's naturals also require zero water usage during processing.
To ensure these special coffees can be shared by all we're offering them in singles, doubles, or sets!
