INTRO
Classic washed Pacas from Danny Moreno — one of the absolute favourite cup profiles around. Always really well produced, clean, complex, and very sweet, with amazing clarity, texture, and bright acidity. Raspberry-like sweet berries and plum-like stone fruit sit alongside a brown sugar sweetness. In the cup: raspberry, plum, and brown sugar.

THE PRODUCER
A relationship with Danny Moreno and his brother Mario dates back to the 2020 harvest, making this lot part of a long-running, closely followed partnership. In March 2026, a visit was made to Danny at El Filo farm in El Cedral, Honduras, to see the work behind these consistently excellent lots firsthand.

THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Pacas's naturally clean, sweet character to come through with amazing clarity, building the raspberry and plum notes that define this cup.

THE CUP
Rich and sweet — raspberry-like sweet berries lead, with a plum-like stone fruit character through the middle and a brown sugar sweetness on the finish. Amazing clarity and bright acidity throughout.

About this variety

Pacas can produce a sweet, lively cup with clear fruit and a clean structure. In the reviewed Honduran lot, honey processing brings dark-honey sweetness around black cherry, apricot and blackcurrant. That fruit profile belongs to this producer and process, rather than being a promise for every Pacas coffee.

Why this one is different
  • Honduras
  • Santa Barbara
  • 1600 masl
  • Washed

Pedro Sagastume's Honduran Pacas combines black cherry, apricot and blackcurrant with a dark-honey sweetness. Honey processing gives this lot extra roundness while retaining lively fruit. The producer, farm and process are the sharper guide to this cup than Pacas history alone.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

A little background

World Coffee Research records that IHCAFE introduced Pacas to Honduras in 1974. This lot comes from Pedro Sagastume in Santa Bárbara, placing an El Salvador-origin Bourbon mutation within a long-established Honduran growing context.

Identification note Pacas originated in El Salvador, but it has been cultivated in Honduras for decades. This context describes a Honduran planting and does not transfer Salvadoran flavour expectations onto it.

Classification Compact natural mutation of Bourbon

Technical lineage A natural Bourbon mutation introduced into Honduran cultivation.
