The beloved Pacamara from Finca Zarza is back. This year, DAK is offering it with a similar process to the previous release – starting with aerobic and anaerobic fermentation – but finishing with a washed method rather than a natural. The result? Still vibrant, but cleaner and more refined. Think cherry lollipop, citrus, and a touch of lavender – less boozy, more balance.

This stunning Pacamara begins its journey with hand-picked, fully ripe cherries from Zarza’s farm. They undergo open-air oxidation for 48 hours, followed by 60 hours of anaerobic fermentation in sealed plastic bags. After this, the cherries are depulped, leaving the mucilage intact, and fermented again for another 60 hours alongside the mossto.

To preserve the intricate flavours developed during fermentation, the coffee is given a thermal shock – first hot water, then cold – locking in aromatics where they matter most. Post-wash, the parchment is briefly drained on a covered African bed before being transferred to a silo to dry slowly over 10 to 14 days, reaching a final moisture level of 11%.

MEET THE ROASTER

Dak Coffee Roasters

Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six

Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.

We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
