From the producer

Arturo Aguirre Sr. and Jr. lead Finca El Injerto in Huehuetenango, continuing a multigenerational family operation recognized for quality production, social programs, and environmental preservation.

From the roaster

George Howell calls El Injerto legendary for its repeated Presidential Cup of Excellence results and describes this Red Pacamara with butterscotch, mild anise, and orange peel.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A washed Red Pacamara from one of Guatemala's most decorated farms. The Aguirre family pairs the variety's unusually large beans with continued investment in quality production, social development, and environmental preservation.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Traceability

Confirmed Finca El Injerto, Arturo Aguirre Sr. and Jr., Huehuetenango, Red Pacamara, and the existing washed-process relationship.

02
Release facts

Added April 2026 harvest, 6,135-foot/1,870-meter elevation, $55 price, 8-ounce size, sold-out status, and brew guidance.

03
Process restraint

Kept the farm’s general washed protocol separate from the exact lot because the source does not explicitly bind those timings to this release.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, refreshed description, current commercial status, point elevation, harvest, and explicit evidence limits.

What wasn't added?

No roast level, bag roast date, lot-specific fermentation/drying durations, formal grade, or public score was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now uses exact release data while clearly separating farm-wide processing practice from lot-specific fact.

What you might taste

Butterscotch sweetness, mild anise, and a bright orange-peel accent.

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

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-26) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Supply Coffee, Waveform, coffeeDB, and Cherrybook corroborate exact-release catalog facts but do not provide a qualifying hands-on cup score. Cherrybook’s evidence index is not a cup score; seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, and duplicate sources were excluded.
