Technical farm data to come

This Pacas Natural produced by Carlos Pola has been one of our favorites for many years.  Pacas is a natural mutation of Bourbon discovered on the Pacas family farm and known as a classic El Salvadoran variety. It does require a lot of care and attention and is susceptible to Roya (coffee rust) but is worth the effort!

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.

About Carlos Pola

Carlos Pola is our closest producer partner who has inspired so much including our name. An innovative producer who prioritizes the health of his farm and community, Pola produces consistent quality with an array of varieties, including stellar hybrids. His obsession with soil health and his understanding of mycelial networks and nutrient exchanges is quite exciting. Carlos truly values the knowledge of his farm team and refers to their intuitive skillset as "the lost art of fermentation".

More about our flavor categories

In an effort to move away from subjective and hyper-specific flavor notes, we've created four flavor categories to better help you decide which coffee you might be interested in.
