What Balloon Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
High up in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountains of El Salvador, Rodolfo Ruffatti is continuing a family coffee-growing tradition that goes back generations. Finca El Salvador has been in the Ruffatti family since 1934, and Rodolfo is bringing his own touch to the farm by experimenting with exciting coffee varieties and processing methods. One of those varieties is Pacamara, famous for its unusually large beans. Fun fact: Pacamara is a cross between the two main arabica branches, the dwarf mutation of Bourbon (Pacas) and the giant mutation of Typica (Maragogype), that shows expressive flavour which we didn't see in either of the parent varieties.
The result? A coffee that feels like a walk through a fragrant garden, floral, fresh and a little unexpected! This beautiful Pacamara brings together delicate jasmine, the brightness of bergamot and a refreshing basil note. An elegant and aromatic filter coffee with a ton of sweetness.
Sometimes we run into coffees that have great people behind them, are produced sustainable with best intentions for nature and the future of coffee growing but are not officially certified. These producers we still want to support to share their coffee with you…

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Organic
“We source only sustainable coffee and we are organic certified (CH-BIO-038 Non-EU Agriculture).” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.

A further 7 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
