【Note】
Winner of 2005 El Salvador program.  Finca El Pacamaral is located western El Salvador, 20km west of Mt. Santa Anna.  The farm is established in 1984, however the owner, Eduardo Francisco de Jesús Castro Magaña, comes from the family which carries over 100yrs of coffee tradition.  Blessed with volcanic soil and high altitude, his farm established well know status in Pacamara production after long hash trail.
