From Chalatenango comes this Pacamara Honey from Finca Santa Rosa, the jewel of the Rivera family and one of the most awarded farms in the country. Surrounded by native pines that create a unique microclimate, Santa Rosa was originally conceived to reforest the area, but ended up becoming a benchmark of the highest quality, once again winning the Cup of Excellence (91.28 pts), an award it had already won in 2014.

This batch is part of the direct sourcing approach that Right Side has maintained since 2014, participating from the very beginning in the processes and selection of cherries. For this Pacamara, the ripe cherries rest for 24 hours before pulping, are washed to prevent unwanted fermentation, and are slowly dried on raised African beds for 21 days with the honey still attached.

The result is a clean, sweet and juicy cup, with a fruity profile marked by grape, blackberry and a silky body that makes this coffee a true filter delight.

STEP 1
To arms, soldier!

STEP 2
First, fold the side of the paper filter so it fits snugly inside your V60. Pour hot water over the filter, soaking it thoroughly to remove any papery taste and allow the ceramic and jug to heat up.

STEP 3
Remove the water from the carafe. Weigh and grind 12g of coffee and place it evenly inside the V60. Now tar your scale with the carafe and V60 on top.

STEP 4
Start the timer and slowly and evenly pour the first 50g of water at 94ºC, trying to wet all the coffee. This first step is known as "Blooming".

STEP 5
At 0:30, pour the next 50g of water using a slow, circular motion, and then pour the final 100g when your timer reads 01:00.

STEP 6
The total time for this recipe should be around 2:00. If the time is less, try grinding your coffee finer, and if it's longer, grind it coarser.

STEP 7
Enjoy your coffee! And keep playing until you find your favorite recipe 🙂
