This is the Honey-processed variant of Finca Idealista's Yellow Pacamara (YPH). Fun fact: the Yellow Pacamara is a cross between the Pacas and Maragogype varieties and has a distinctive yellow fruit. Our Roast team has roasted all three variants of Idealista's Yellow Pacamara the same way — with a slow and gentle development through a delicately handled roasting process — which makes this series a 100% solid selection for side-by-side comparisons to discover how different processes can affect the same coffee!
The result is a sweet honey-like aroma and a note of redcurrants when hot, cooling down into a taste reminiscent of black grapes. Can you taste it?
