About This Coffee

In the rugged hills of Santa Barbara, Honduras, the Parainema varietal has found an unlikely home and, in doing so, has etched its name into the annals of specialty coffee competitions. Originally bred for disease resistance, Parainema gained fame when forward-thinking farmers discovered its unique potential—not just to survive, but to dazzle. The Santa Barbara microclimates, with their cool mists and rich soils, elevate this varietal’s character into something refined and expressive. It’s a coffee born of both science and serendipity, cultivated by smallholders who have turned careful fermentation and selective harvesting into an art form. Parainema from this region has helped put Honduras on the global map not just for volume, but for vibrancy and innovation.
