Finca Mileydi is one of El Salvador’s most celebrated producers of Pacamara, with an exceptional reputation built through first place Cup of Excellence victories in 2021 and 2023. This lot continues that legacy, placing 7th in the 2026 Cup of Excellence with an impressive score of 88.35.
Produced by Norelvia Angelica Elias Flores on the family’s 10 hectare estate in Alotepec-Metapán, this lot is grown at 1,350 MASL, where altitude, terroir and meticulous cultivation come together to create remarkable depth, clarity and sweetness.
This semi washed Pacamara coffee opens with vibrant mandarin and citrus, leading into layers of raspberry and cranberry, with hibiscus and rosehip adding delicate floral lift. Milk chocolate and caramel notes bring richness and sweetness, while a creamy, buttery mouthfeel and juicy acidity create a beautifully balanced structure.
The finish is long and elegant, with sweet cacao and a delicate tea-like character lingering well beyond the final sip.
Norelvia and her late husband, Ever Leonel Díaz, built Finca Mileydi together, developing the farm through a shared commitment to quality and an enduring passion for coffee. Today, Norelvia continues that legacy alongside her children and family.
Finca Mileydi Pacamara 2026 is an exceptional expression of Salvadoran coffee, distinctive in character, elegant in structure and shaped by a remarkable sense of origin.
