The Baraona family have been growing coffee at the top of the Tecapa Volcano since 1890 and throughout the years the name Baraona has become synonymous with quality and innovation. We've been buying the family's coffee since we started back in 2018. Today it is Gilberto’s son Diego who runs the family farm Los Pirineos, following his father’s passing in 2020.  We met up with Diego in 2022 and had the opportunity to host him in Gothenburg and show him our roastery and share some coffee together. He is firmly set to continue his fathers great legacy, boasting over 15 separate Cup of Excellence awards and producing some of the best coffee in the world. Diego recently placed in the top five of the same competition, and with this lot of Pacamara, we are certain that Los Pirineos and Diego is set to continue to produce some of the best coffees out of El Salvador.

Produced by Diego Baraona in the Usulatan region of El Salvador, this lot showcases the distinct character of the Pacamara varietal. Known for its large bean size and complex profile, this cultivar is a staple of Salvadoran specialty coffee. The coffee undergoes a honey process, a method that typically balances the sweetness of the fruit with a clean, refined acidity.

Roasted by Morgon Coffee Roasters, this selection highlights a profile defined by creamy textures, milk chocolate, and caramel, punctuated by bright raspberry notes. When evaluating these specific characteristics, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances inherent in this honey-processed harvest. By focusing on the intersection of regional terroir and careful post-harvest handling, Baraona delivers a cup that reflects the meticulous standards of his farm in Usulatan.
