In many coffee-producing countries, seed size is an important factor in coffee production. Coffee breeders select varieties based on their bean size and export grading is often heavily regulated by size. Farmers sometimes employ specific techniques to grow larger beans, as buyers’ preference for bigger beans can affect prices and premiums.

At Counter Culture, our focus is on flavor rather than size. However, "Gigantic" celebrates the unique characteristics of the Pacamara variety, known for its large beans and unique profile. Distinctive and complex, great Pacamaras have a vibrant acidity, reminiscent of crisp apple and citrus, which imparts a refreshing and lively quality to the cup. They often feature tropical fruit flavors, providing a juicy, almost wine-like experience. Caramel-like sweetness balances the profile. 

This limited-release blend showcases Pacamaras from various partners––Finca Santa Elena, Finca El Puente, Finca Pashapa––creating a delicious cup, one filtered by a singular preference for big flavors.
