With the Maragogipe varietal known as the giant elephant bean, Pacamara beans are also larger in size, leading to their nickname of The King Bean of Central America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePacas beans were a natural mutation of the Bourbon varietal, and have trees that are shorter and more compact. The build of the tree makes it less susceptible to weather wear, adapting to harsher conditions and resistant disease more than other plants. The Maragogipe is a mutation of the Typica varietal, and has trees that grow large and tall. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePacamara beans usually feature intense aromas that are more complex, creamy textures that have medium bodies, and slight acidity with fruitier undertones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Anaerobic Natural process?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Anaerobic Natural Process consists of fermenting coffee without oxygen, and is well-known as the process used to ferment wine. After the coffee cherries are harvested and cleaned, they go into fermentation barrels. Next, they are left for 90 hours, or until all of the air bubbles are gone. The coffee cherries are then taken out of the barrel and, depending on the weather, are dried on raised beds for 30-45 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do Anaerobic Natural processed coffees usually taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese coffees tend to be described as “funky” and “unique.” Just like wine, these coffees are forcibly fermented in a controlled environment.

These brewers are practical and beautiful, and the spiral ridges and lack of flow restriction really allow for pourovers with delicate bodies to really shine. We recommend brewing at a 14.5 to 1 ratio, with a total brew time between three minutes and four minutes. Water should be about 204°F, and your coffee should be ground medium fine (425 to 600 microns).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"278\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-72fff982-7fff-b542-31ed-3233239e47e7\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a more extensive brew guide, please check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.klatchcoffee.com\/blogs\/brew-guides\/hario-v60-dripper?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=hario\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003eHario V60 brewing guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klatch Coffee","offers":[{"title":"310 g bag \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43176229339225,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"310 g bag \/ Extra Coarse (Cold Brew)","offer_id":43176229371993,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"310 g bag \/ Coarse (French Press \/ Percolator)","offer_id":43176229404761,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"310 g bag \/ Medium Coarse (Chemex \/ Cone Filter)","offer_id":43176229437529,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"310 g bag \/ Medium (Pour Over \/ Auto Drip)","offer_id":43176229470297,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"310 g bag \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":43176229503065,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43176229535833,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Extra Coarse (Cold Brew)","offer_id":43176229568601,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Coarse (French Press \/ Percolator)","offer_id":43176229601369,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Medium Coarse (Chemex \/ Cone Filter)","offer_id":43176229634137,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Medium (Pour Over \/ Auto Drip)","offer_id":43176229666905,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 lb bag \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":43176229699673,"sku":null,"price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":43176229732441,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Extra Coarse (Cold Brew)","offer_id":43176229765209,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Coarse (French Press \/ Percolator)","offer_id":43176229797977,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Medium Coarse (Chemex \/ Cone Filter)","offer_id":43176229830745,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Medium (Pour Over \/ Auto Drip)","offer_id":43176229863513,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 lb bag \/ Fine (Espresso)","offer_id":43176229896281,"sku":null,"price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1607\/0925\/files\/El_Sal_PAC-Ana-Nat.png?v=1774545870","url":"https:\/\/www.klatchcoffee.com\/products\/el-salvador-las-mercedes-pacamara-anaerobic-natural","provider":"Klatch Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
