This rare hand-processed Pacamara for the youthful Finca Campo Alegre in Ecuador sits cleanly in the cup with a beautiful finish. Bow Truss Master Roaster Dennis Jackson traveled to Ecuador in the autumn of last year for the Taza Dorata, a regional coffee evaluation and competition similar to the Cup of Excellence, were Finca Campo Alegre caught his eye. This is a very young farm only in the first year of production, yet scoring an incredible tenth overall via international jury, unheard of with such a youthful farm. Dennis brought samples for further cupping and analysis and our team was blown away. Our goal in years to come is to ferment the direct relationship with the farm and produce more outstanding coffees like this one! Check out this short video we created to document Bow Truss’ first direct trade.
