The Process - Washed Black Honey
Finca Santa Petrona is well-known for its black honey as well as natural
processed lots. Honey processing, in general, emphasises the sweetness
of the bean and is distinguished on three levels: black, red, and white. The
colours correspond to the quantity of cherry left on the bean during the
drying process.
The more fruit remaining, the sweeter and more fruit-
driven the profile in the cup. Black honey has the most cherry remaining
on the bean.

Facts
Petrona Palacios de Díaz purchased this wonderful tract of land in 1927 with the intention of planting bourbon coffee trees. It was inherited by her daughter, Petrona Díaz de Pacas, in 1950, who four years later planted the first Pacas trees in the “Pacas Viejo” lot. Petrona divided the land into three sections when she was ready to retire from coffee production. She had one for each of her sons. Federico Pacas Díaz became the proprietor of Finca Santa Petrona in this manner. Since 2012, his only son, Federico Pacas Lopez, has maintained the farm, which consists of 11 lots. The Parras System is utilised on all bourbon trees on this farm, with branches stretched as horizontally as possible.
