Equator Coffees

Guatemala El Injerto Pacamara

Roaster Location: San Rafael, California
Coffee Origin: La Libertad, Huehuetenango Department, Guatemala
Roast Level: Medium-Light
Agtron: 57/74
Est. Price: $19.00/6 ounces
Review Date: September 2021
Aroma: 9
Acidity/Structure: 8
Body: 9
Flavor: 9
Aftertaste: 8

Blind Assessment: Nuanced, richly bittersweet. Dark chocolate, hop flowers, apricot, brown sugar, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with crisp, round acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolaty finish with undertones of apricot and sandalwood.

Notes: Produced by Arturo Aguirre of El Injerto Farm entirely of the Pacamara variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed before beans are dried). Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts. Visit www.equatorcoffees.com or call 800-809-7687 for more information.  

The Bottom Line: A classic Pacamara cup: deep-toned, richly savory, holistically sweet.
