The story behind the cup
The producer
William Dias is a coffee producer in El Salvador specialising in the cultivation of Pacamara, a varietal prized for its large bean size and expressive cup profile. Working at high altitude, William focuses on careful farm management and selective harvesting to bring out the best of this distinctive variety. Attention to detail at every stage — from cherry selection through to processing — ensures consistency and quality year after year.
The coffee
This Pacamara lot offers a structured yet approachable cup, combining sweetness with gentle fruit character and a rounded mouthfeel. The coffee is carefully processed to preserve clarity while allowing the varietal’s natural richness to shine. Well balanced and refined, it performs beautifully as a filter coffee, with enough depth and sweetness to suit espresso brewing too.
