Equator has been partnering with the Baraona family for over a decade. Perched on the slopes of Tecapa Volcano in central El Salvador, their Finca Los Pirineos primarily produces Bourbon, but they increasingly experiment with different varietals and processing methods. This Pacamara lot was black honey processed, where traces of fruit are left on the beans as they dry, giving them a dark honey-like appearance and producing richly sweet notes. We tasted molasses, raisin, apple, caramel and tangerine, with a smooth creamy body.

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!
