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 natural-processed coffee showcases the distinct characteristics of the Pacamara varietal. Grown at 1500 masl, the lot is roasted by Morgon Coffee Roasters to highlight a profile defined by creamy textures, chocolate ganache, and pineapple.

Natural-processed coffees, where the fruit remains intact during drying, often develop a heavier body and pronounced sweetness compared to washed counterparts, as detailed in our guide to processing methods. When evaluating the complexity of such a cup, tasters may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the interplay between the deep, cocoa-like base and the bright, tropical acidity inherent in this specific harvest. This offering serves as a compelling example of how careful cultivation and processing can elevate the unique genetic profile of the Pacamara bean.
