Pacamara and Cuscatleco: Specialty Coffee from El Salvador to Canada

Pacamara coffee plants growing in volcanic soil in Chinameca El Salvador

At Finca San Francisco in Chinameca, El Salvador, we intentionally grow Pacamara and Cuscatleco — two coffee varieties that reflect our volcanic soil and altitude.

But this is not only about origin.

It is about bringing authentic Salvadoran specialty coffee directly to Canada.

Why Pacamara?

Pacamara is a Salvadoran-developed coffee variety, created by crossing Pacas and Maragogipe. It is known in the specialty coffee world for its large beans and expressive flavor profile.

Grown in volcanic soil at altitude, Pacamara can develop:

• Chocolate depth

• Bright fruit notes

• Structured acidity

• Complex aroma

When you taste it in Canada, you are tasting land shaped by volcanic minerals and careful farming.

Why Cuscatleco?

Cuscatleco was developed for resilience and quality under Salvadoran conditions. It offers balance, sweetness, and smooth body — ideal for daily specialty coffee drinkers who appreciate structure without overpowering acidity.

From Volcanic Soil to Your Cup in Canada

Our coffee is grown in Chinameca, El Salvador, under a balance of shade and sun, then carefully roasted and made available for Canadian customers.

This direct connection allows:

Great specialty coffee begins long before roasting.

It begins with the right variety, grown in volcanic soil, cared for with discipline, and delivered with purpose.
