At Café Pacas - and for the Pacas family - it holds an even deeper significance, serving as the genetic foundation of the Pacas variety, a natural mutation first identified in El Salvador in 1949. Today, the Bourbon varietal remains a benchmark for quality, valued for its ability to express both terroir and craftsmanship.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Finca Los Bellotos, this heritage variety thrives at elevations of 1,400-1,750 metres above sea level in the volcanic mountains of western El Salvador.

The coffee then undergoes a traditional washed process, fermenting for 8-10 hours before being thoroughly washed and slowly dried on patios for a minimum of 12 days. Every lot remains fully traceable throughout the journey from harvest to export, ensuring the unique identity of the coffee is preserved at every stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a beautifully clean and expressive cup that brings together the heritage of Bourbon, the expertise of the Merche family and the longstanding partnership between Café Pacas and Bailies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Apanecea-Ilamatepec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariety:\u003cspan\u003e Bourbon\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess: Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltitude: \u003cspan\u003e1,400-1,750masl\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting: Red Currant Jelly, Candied Walnuts, Black Tea\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAroma: Peanut Brittle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody: Medium\/Low\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcidity: Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0372\/3985\/files\/filter2-01.png?14917605752375113149\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0372\/3985\/files\/aero2.png?14917605752375113149\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0372\/3985\/files\/Chemex.png?14917605752375113149\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bailies","offers":[{"title":"Wholebean \/ 250g","offer_id":57436051243386,"sku":"CREML0359","price":12.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground For Filter \/ 250g","offer_id":57436051276154,"sku":"CFIML0359-2","price":12.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground For French Press \/ 250g","offer_id":57436051308922,"sku":"CFIML0359-3","price":12.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wholebean \/ 1kg","offer_id":57436051341690,"sku":"CML0359","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0372\/3985\/files\/Los-Bellotos.png?v=1792484850","url":"https:\/\/www.bailiescoffee.com\/products\/el-salvador-los-bellotos-washed-microlot","provider":"Bailies Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
