The “Pacamara” variety is a result of crossing the Pacas and Maragogipe varieties. Pacas is a natural mutation that comes from the Bourbon variety, small in size with short internodes and compact foliage that helps it withstand difficult weather conditions such as strong winds, sunshine, and water scarcity. It is also disease-resistant, adapts to many growing conditions, and is highly productive.
Maragogipe is a mutation of the Typica variety. The trees are tall in size and produce some of the largest coffee seeds. Its productivity is not high but its cup quality is exceptional.
The idea behind the creation of the Pacamara Hybrid was to get the best of both varieties. It was named “Pacamara” to refer to the first four letters of each variety. The creation of the Pacamara variety required careful research that took 30 years, which was presented to growers in the late 1980s.
