Grind

    The Bernardina variety was discovered in 2013 as a mutation on the farm Los Bellotos in El Salvador. The farm belongs to Pacas Café, and is run by Maria Pacas.

    According to DNA analysis, the variety is 70% similar to geisha varieties, the remaining 30% was not available in any coffee database until now. The most similar variety is one from Agaro, Ethiopia.

    The variety comes with an even more intense flavour profile than Geisha coffee: floral aroma of jasmine and orange blossom, with tropical notes of mango and the sweetness of wild honey.

    Maria Pacas named the variety after farm mamager Roberto Bernadine Merche, who found the first 5 trees on Bellotos, and has always stressed that these trees are special.

    The coffee was first processed separately in 2013 as a lot of 18kg and roasted by Proud Marias in Melbourne, Australia. At the time, the coffee was priced at $52/pound. Since then, the variety has had a tremendous success story.

    About the coffee

    This COE comes from El Salvador, from the Finca Santa Juana farm in Santa Ana.

    The beans of this lot of the Bernardina variety were processed naturally: The coffee cherries are carefully picked by hand on the farm. After harvesting, all unripe, dry or green cherries are sorted out. The coffee cherries are then transported to the Vivagua mill. There they are not de-pulped, but immediately spread out on raised shade beds to dry. These layers of coffee are moved 5-8 times a day. At night, the coffee is piled into small batches and covered with jute bags to protect it from dew or unexpected rains. The humidity of the coffee is measured daily. Once it reaches 12%, the coffee is packed in jute bags and kept in a pre-assigned location in the warehouse to ensure traceability. The jute remains in the warehouse until it is ready to be dry ground and exported. The total drying time is 25-30 days.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    – SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Rockstar

    Coffee is a fruit. This means it is naturally acidic, and contains many sugars. We roast our coffees to bring out this acidity and develop their natural sweetness.

    For us, all rare and special coffees are rockstars. We’re super proud of our diverse and extensive range of rare coffees. Geishas and other special varieties taste their best when we’re roasting them regularly and gaining experience. We are the only roasters in Germany that roast rockstars every single week, with Geisha and other rare varieties in our regular lineup.
