Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Peach, pineapple, tangy apricot, green apple and tea-like The Story Behind the Bean: Absolute gold! We first heard of this coffee when Nolan travelled to Guatemala in 2016. The pictures Nolan brought back showed one mammoth sized yellow coffee cherry. For 2017, we got to cup and taste the incredible character of this coffee. The varietal is Yellow Pacamara, which is known for its large (bean) physical size and vibrant citric acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it.. The man behind this operation is Don Higinio Gomez. About the Farm: Located in the Sierra de Las Minas mountain ranges, the coffee trees are incredibly lush, healthy and full of cherries.
