The Bernardina variety is currently proprietary to the Pacas family, and has been genetically traced and verified to be an Ethiopian heirloom variety. This means that Bernardina was originally indigenous to Ethiopia, and at some point was harvested and colonized in Latin America. It was discovered by Bernard Pacas, hence the name. The variety is currently proprietary to the Pacas family farms, which makes it extremely rare.
We taste notes of Honeysuckle, Strawberry, and Tamarind Juice.
