From the producer

Claudia Abril and Max Pérez founded Finca La Hermosa in 2010 on an abandoned parcel on Acatenango's volcanic slopes.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee highlights this Pacamara variety as a unique, light-roasted single-origin selection from their Acatenango sourcing program.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The Pacamara comes from a trial program of more than 30 uncommon varieties planted alongside the farm's larger commercial lots. Counter Culture describes the farm's transformation from land without water or electricity into a family operation with a quality lab and Cup of Excellence recognition.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the farm and release

Rechecked farm, producers, origin, Pacamara, washed process, harvest, elevation range, price, roast, notes, FOB price, and availability.

Expanded the farm and variety context

Documented Finca La Hermosa’s 2010 founding and the 32-variety trial planting while keeping the text specific to the Pacamara release.

Audited independent sentiment

Confirmed the exact TheBeanGeek listing is unrated and excluded catalogs, evidence indexes, general roaster sentiment, and inferred scores.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, refreshed source research, current sold-out verification, transparent FOB context, and explicit unknowns.

What wasn't added?

No scalar altitude, fermentation details, drying method, original score, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes verified lot details from farm-wide background and from catalog-generated quality or sentiment signals.

What you might taste

Green apple, ripe honeydew, and a creamy body.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
