El Salvador Honey Pacas
We proudly present you with this beautiful coffee from Finca Balam located in the La Palma region of El Salvador, Central America.
This Pacas Honey is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of Rodrigo Giammattei, a producer whose passion for coffee runs deep. Grown at an altitude of 1,600–1,750 MASL, this coffee embodies the rich terroir of La Palma, where misty mornings and cool mountain breezes create the ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation, enhancing its complexity and sweetness.
Rodrigo’s journey in coffee is deeply personal. As a Q-Grader, farmer, and producer, he has dedicated his life to not only growing exceptional coffee but also improving post-harvest practices to bring out the best in each variety. His farm, Balam, is named after the Mayan word for “jaguar,” symbolizing strength, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. Rodrigo’s approach blends tradition with innovation, ensuring sustainability while elevating Salvadoran coffee on the global stage.
This Pacas Honey is more than just a cup of coffee—it’s a reflection of Rodrigo’s passion, expertise, and commitment to producing extraordinary coffee with a story worth sharing.
The honey process preserves the natural sugars of the coffee cherry, resulting in a vibrant cup with notes of vanilla, ripe stone fruit, and delicate florals, balanced by a silky body and a lingering caramel finish- reminiscent of peach cobbler.
