Known for excellent cup quality it often wins cupping competitions across Central America. But this variety always produced red fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow Pacamara appeared on a Red Pacamara area that was planted in 2009 on a plot named Roma. About 10 single trees yielded 3 years after planted with yellow skinned color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter its appearance some leaves were sent to the WCR for genetic fingerprinting. This variety pedigree analysis carried out in 2017 showed this variety had Pacamara background with a new discovered allele that hasn’t been identified previously on their database, making it not only a rarity but also a topic of further research.\u003cbr\u003eFrom those seeds Gloria started a new plot a bit higher from the original land but with\u003cbr\u003elimited production as only a few hundred trees have been reproduced since 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe became aware they had yellow Pacamara trees from a Facebook post. Miguel reached out to Luis Rodriguez to see if they had any of this coffee available to sell. They hadn't previously separated it from the red tree, but Luis thought there should be enough to do so for a small nano-lot. After some discussion it was settled that the coffee would be processed as a honey once the cherries were ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest day finally came on March 9th, 2022. They were able to collect 300lb of cherry from the Yellow Pacamara trees. from which resulted a 40lb nano-lot exclusive to Paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINCA NEJAPA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinca Nejapa is located on the slopes of Cerro las Ninfas, nested along the famous\u003cbr\u003eApaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, in Apaneca, Department of Ahuachapán. The farm\u003cbr\u003eowner, Gloria Mercedes Rodríguez Fontán, is a 4 th generation coffee grower that has\u003cbr\u003ebeen actively involved in the development of high-quality coffees in her area. Nejapa\u003cbr\u003ehas been in her family since the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoffee is grown in an area of some 18 hectares subdivided in 7 plots grown with\u003cbr\u003edifferent varieties, including Red and yellow pacamara, red, orange and yellow Bourbon,\u003cbr\u003eyellow and red caturra, geisha, typica and elefante.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe farm has about 4 hectares of native forest distributed along the farm helping\u003cbr\u003epreserve our soils, microclimate, flora and fauna. Every cultivated plot in Nejapa is fully\u003cbr\u003eshaded with native trees and ingas, helping many birds, insects and mammal species\u003cbr\u003emove and live without major disruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNejapa, has been previously awarded by Cup of Excellence 4 times with different plots.\u003cbr\u003eGloria’s small farms account for 13 CoE auctions prizes and 2 national winning awards.\u003cbr\u003eThe farm is approximately 22 hectares with an altitude ranging between 1,480 to 1,580\u003cbr\u003emasl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the east, on the higher part of the farm, it neighbors with the Ninfas Lagoon, an\u003cbr\u003eextinct volcanic crater and sanctuary for migrating birds. From here you have a view of\u003cbr\u003eevery peak from the mountain range finishing with the Izalco volcano, named the\u003cbr\u003e“pacific lighthouse” which many years ago used to be in constant eruption and was\u003cbr\u003eGloria’s family trip at night, to enjoyed from its frequent eruptions in the distance. It\u003cbr\u003ealso has a beautiful view to the town of Apaneca and you can also see the Pacific Ocean\u003cbr\u003eshoreline and the Acajutla port from this spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther cultural practices include manual weed control, shade tree pruning, off-shot\u003cbr\u003ethinning, soil conservation practices, wind-break barriers management, root and stem\u003cbr\u003ebending, as well as a renewed attention to better nutrition of the plant and soil life\u003cbr\u003eimprovement, among others. A huge importance is obviously given to harvesting only\u003cbr\u003ethe ripest possible cherries, measured visually, tasting mucilage and using\u003cbr\u003erefractometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the main works performed at the farm is the coffee nursery, which is done only\u003cbr\u003ewith seeds selected within Gloria’s farms to guarantee the purity and adaptability of our\u003cbr\u003ecoffee plantations in the future. There are at least 5 families involved every year in the\u003cbr\u003eworks performed at the farm, with some other 30 temporary staff needed for the\u003cbr\u003eharvest. One of the advantages of this farm is easy access, as its only 2 ½ kilometers\u003cbr\u003eaway from the Apaneca town. It also gets water from the crater lagoon that makes\u003cbr\u003esome works easier, such as foliar fertilization and nursery irrigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"4oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40223582093417,"sku":"el-salvador-pacamara-4oz","price":26493.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"4oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":40223582126185,"sku":"el-salvador-pacamara-4oz-AD","price":26493.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40223582158953,"sku":"el-salvador-pacamara","price":68126.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":40223582191721,"sku":"el-salvador-pacamara-AD","price":68126.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/products\/image_63d30165-02c1-43d0-8433-77255bfa1ae8.jpg?v=1671226452","url":"https:\/\/paradiseroasters.com\/en-kr\/products\/nicaragua-finca-las-delicias-yellow-pacamara-honey","provider":"Paradise Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
