HONDURAS | Javier Fernandez | Parainema | Washed
Proud Mary’s connection to the Santa Barbara region of Honduras began all the way back in 2012 when we were introduced to a small group of producers situated around the town of Peña Blanca, close to the shores of Lake Yojoa. More than a decade later, that group of producers has grown in number, and our relationships have deepened. When we started working with Javier Fernandez in 2012, he only processed his coffees using the washed method. Fast forward a decade, and now Javier has become a leader in the region for experimentation and quality. Although this lot is washed, its variety is something different and unique. Parainema was developed by Instituto Hondureño del Café (IHCAFE) to be a high-quality disease-resistant variety. Grown at high altitude in the misty microclimate around Lake Yojoa, Javier’s washed Parainema is prized for its bright and vibrant acidity.
