Parainema Anaerobic Natural

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee is produced by Rosalio Ventura in Mercedes, Ocotepeque, Honduras. Grown at an altitude of 1,250 meters, this Parainema variety is processed using an anaerobic natural method, where the coffee is fermented with the fruit intact before drying. The cup profile features notes of honey, stone fruit, vanilla, caramel, roasted nuts, and lemonade, complemented by a silky body with hints of tea-like spice and nutmeg.
