El Salvador Marta Yaneth Lemus

Marta Yaneth Lemus owns a small farm in El Salvador called San Antonio, where her dedication to growing coffee is reflected in every cup. Instead of growing coffee the easy way she chose a rare and demanding variety: Pacamara. Her Pacamara is clean, floral, and deeply complex, revealing the years of knowledge, patience, and precision required to produce a coffee of this caliber.

In the cup: fresh guava and crisp apple cider open with a sparkling acidity. French vanilla emerges as it cools, adding a soft sweetness that balances the brightness. Clean, floral, and deeply layered, this is a coffee for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship and complexity in a lighter roast.

This El Salvador offering from producer Marta Yaneth Lemus showcases the Pacamara varietal through Cat & Cloud Coffee's roasting. The cup delivers a striking interplay of fruit-forward brightness and delicate sweetness—guava and crisp apple cider notes frame a sparkling acidity, while French vanilla and soft floral undertones add complexity and balance. The clean, deeply layered profile suggests careful sourcing and roasting execution that allows the bean's intrinsic character to shine. Pacamara, a hybrid known for its distinctive flavor potential, performs particularly well in lots like this where both brightness and refinement are evident in the cup.
