finca zarza is a natural-processed pacamara from huila, colombia, scoring 90.8 on the sca scale. natural processing means the coffee dried inside the whole cherry, which concentrates sugars and tends to push fruit-forward character, here expressed as tropical fruit. pacamara is a large-bean varietal known for intensity and complexity. roasted by coffee gems artisan roasters, this is a good candidate for pour-over or filter brewing to let the fruit clarity come through, though it can also reward a slower, lower-pressure espresso extraction if you want something dense and fruit-driven in the cup.
common questions

How should I brew FINCA ZARZA, Colombia (SCA Score 90.8)?
filter or pour-over brewing is a reliable choice for a natural pacamara, as it highlights fruit character without adding pressure-driven intensity. if brewing espresso, a slightly longer ratio or lower brew temperature can help balance the natural sweetness.
