About: The Pacas family has been growing coffee in the mountains of El Salvador for more than five generations, and we're proud to call them one of our longest-standing producer relationships, having purchased their coffees since 2012. Over the years we've weathered leaf rust outbreaks, drought, wildly fluctuating market prices, and a global pandemic together, and through it all the Pacas family has remained our first stop on every trip to El Salvador. Named for the deep, jewel-like quality of the cup, Sapphire Blend brings together washed Bourbon and Pacas coffees sourced from several of the family's farms scattered around the Santa Ana Volcano. Blending lots from multiple farms allows the Pacas family to streamline processing while still delivering a consistent, dependable cup year after year. The result is a coffee that's rich and comforting, built for everyday drinking, with layers of caramel and brown sugar sweetness rounded out by dark chocolate.
