For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Professional coverage involving coffees from El Injerto

Guatemala El Injerto Pacamara
Published January 2012
Coffee Review scored a special Pacamara auction lot from El Injerto 95 points, describing a tartly sweet, lemon-berry complexity over a silky mouthfeel. The reviewed lot was roasted by Willoughby's Coffee & Tea - a different roaster, lot and era from George Howell's current El Injerto Red Pacamara. It documents the farm's Pacamara quality, not this coffee.
