Manuel Baca Pacamara PERU

£20.00
  • Stone Fruit, floral, elegant

One of our favourite coffees of 2025 is back, the beautiful Pacamara lot from Manuel Baca. We had the pleasure of visiting Manuel on his farm last year, a veritable paradise perched high on the mountainside overlooking the grand and dramatic Lonya Grande valley.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

CARBON IMPACT

Our Roaster:
We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity.

Our Packaging:
Our 250g bags are paper based and can be recycled with kerbside recycling or composted in your garden. We recommend storing your coffee in an airtight container like this one. Our 1kg bags are 70% wastemade (LDPE4) and recyclable with soft plastic at the supermarket. Please don't put them in your curbside recycling. The planet thanks you!

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags are now fully kurbside recyclable, paper packaging. All online orders will be shipped in our plastic free bags, you can check out the reasons why we made the change here. Our 1kg bags are LDPE 4 packaging, a type of soft plastic, very common in food packaging. For home consumers LDPE 4 is still not curbside recyclable, but is accepted at local recycling points and dedicated soft plastics deposit points. Find a location near you.

ROASTING ON RENEWABLES

We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity. Though the installation required a significant investment in new power infrastructure, the move reinforces our dedication to sustainability and strengthens our promise to customers that we deliver on our environmental commitments.

Family Farm

The future of coffee depends on many things, potentially the most important aspect is a new generation of producers who are willing to take up the mantle of those that came before. We are seeing young people migrate to urban areas in search of a better life, making it imperative to support the involvement and development of young coffee professionals in producing regions as much as possible.

Manuel Baca

We walked Finca Pacpa with Manuel and his father, also called Manuel, exploring the plots of Pacamara and Gesha. Something magical must be in the soil to help the Pacamara trees reach 3+ metres in height in just 4 years - we’ve never seen anything like it. We usually only see this with very old trees, whose yield and quality are poor, but these trees are bursting with huge, ripe, delicious cherries.

We stood on the side of the farm looking across the vast valley of Lonya Grande, which miles away on the other side we could spot Finca Morales, owned and run by Manuel's cousin, Roiber Becerra, whose coffee we also have this year.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Amazonas, Peru

The mountains of Peru are home to various micro-climates that all lend themselves to growing delicious coffee. Organic growing practices are standard procedure for Peruvian coffee, which is handpicked and carefully sorted for quality.
