This beautiful washed Honduran coffee comes to us from Yensi Sanchez’s farm Bella Vista. Yensi is a third generation coffee producer, following in the tradition of her parents and grandparents. Her 1.5 hectare farm near the Honduras-Nicaragua border is an ideal region for coffee growing, an area where mid-altitude varietals like Parainema do splendidly.

Alongside her husband Danilo, also a third generation coffee producer, they work hard to grow high quality coffee to support their family; providing good education and nutrition to their children, and stability for their family.

Her parainema is picked at peak ripeness and de-pulped before being sealed in plastic bags for an initial 40hr ferment. After washing it is dried on raised beds under a plastic dome for 20-25 days. The resulting coffee is bright and lively, with a red fruit acidity balanced by a creamy lemon and deep sweet finish.
