Honduras Edgardo Tinoco Natural Pacamara Farmlevel Reserve

From Honduras’ Santa Bárbara range, this Natural Pacamara reflects both Edgardo Tinoco’s expertise and the unique biodiversity of his farms. With notes of Skin Contact Wine, White Sugar, and Magnolia, the cup balances fruit complexity with refined sweetness, offering a profile as bold and expressive as its producer.

Edgardo Tinoco planted his first plot in 1995 as a teenager, sparking a lifelong devotion to coffee that has placed him among Honduras’ most respected growers. His farms lie on the southern slopes of the Santa Bárbara Mountain Nature Reserve, a region defined by cloud forests, tropical jungles, and pine stands. This rich biodiversity, paired with Edgardo’s care, continues to yield coffees recognized on global stages.

In 2009, Edgardo first entered the Cup of Excellence, and two years later, he earned first place with a remarkable 91.78 score. His 2023 Natural Pacamara from Finca La Leona went on to win first place, followed by a 13th place finish in 2024, further cementing his reputation for exceptional quality. Pacamara, a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogipe, is famous for its large seeds and complex profile, while the natural process heightens its fruit-forward character and delicate sweetness.

Beyond coffee, Edgardo is known for his energetic personality and his love of cars. He’s often spotted in his bright blue Jeep. Verve has partnered with him for over a decade, sharing in his commitment to quality, consistency, and the pursuit of unforgettable coffees.
