Arnulfo Diaz Pacamara Natural, El Salvador

When we tasted Arnulfo Diaz’ coffee at origin in 2024, we were taken with the quality and complexity of his Semi-Washed Pacamara, and after recommendation from CaféNor proprietor Alejandro Valiente, committed to this natural Pacamara sight unseen!

This coffee has nearly luxurious sweetness, with syrupy flavors of preserved cherry, and grenadine (pomegranate syrup), and enough acidity to balance the profile, and a rich/silky texture. Well represented as an espresso, and truly great when hand-poured in a filter method.

CaféNor has been a key part of Tenfold’s history, since the very beginning. Providing foundational blend lots, and micro lots with a distinct terroir of Metapán. Coffees with complexity, delicacy, florality, and distinction have been their trademark, giving us more than enough reason to continue this partnership year after year.

Alejandro Valiente is a quintessential farmer, from his humor to his gait. His commitment to the very earth that binds us all is admirable as it is intoxicating. We truly appreciate the privilege it is to support his and CaféNor’s vision, and of course enjoy his company when we can!
