About: The Pacas family are truly unique at what they do, and we're privileged to have worked with them for over a decade. Finca San Joaquin has been in the Pacas family since it was established in 1905. They have preserved the cypress forest that sits at the highest elevation of the farm as it provides a habitat for endangered birds and reptiles. The family affectionally refer to San Joaquin as 'the farm of the morning sun'. Due to its orientation, the coffee trees only receive direct sun before noon, making it the perfect place for coffee cherries to ripen slowly. This naturally processed Bourbon is creamy, with ripe fruit and chocolate notes.
