Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.

What Especially Coffee Roaster says about this coffee
CATALN DE LAS MERCEDES · PACAMARA
All of this eventually finds its way into the cup. Our Pacamara comes from this ongoing search. But Catalán de Las Mercedes is about more than coffee. A young variety from a finca with more than 170 years of history. We thought that was a pretty good reason to put it in the roaster. The land itself carries an even older story. Nearby stands Chuwa Nima’ Ab’aj, an ancient Kaqchikel city whose name means “in front of the great stone.” A variety born in El Salvador from the crossing of Pacas and Maragogipe, today grown throughout Central America. More than 170 years of family history are now carried forward by Nicholas Hammond, who has chosen to preserve the finca’s traditional varieties while also exploring new ones, including Gesha, Maragogipe and Pacamara. In the mountains of San Martn Jilotepeque, Chimaltenango, coffee has been grown at Cataln de Las Mercedes since 1851. In 2021, the Hammond family created an educational center inside the finca for the children of farm workers — giving families a place to stay together during harvest while children can learn and play.

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.
How it sits among coffee from Guatemala
Especially Coffee Roaster describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Guatemala; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
citrus is unusual here — 24% of coffee from Guatemala are described that way.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
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.
