This coffee is a washed Parainema variety from Santa Barbara, Honduras, produced by Yeltsin Sagastume. Grown at 1500 meters altitude and harvested in May 2025, this lot was de-pulped, fermented for 20 hours, washed carefully, and dried for 14 days on raised beds under plastic solar drying tunnels. Parainema is a native Honduran varietal created by the Honduran Coffee Institute for nematode resistance while maintaining cup quality. The Sagastume family has been involved in coffee production in Santa Barbara for over a century, using no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. This coffee features crisp citrus aromas with notes of caramel and redcurrant, delivering a fresh and bright profile with aromatic citrus balanced by intense caramel sweetness.
Bean Shipper has evolved from a coffee subscription service into the heart of the Kuala Lumpur specialty scene.

We visited their HQ in Kuala Lumpur, met the lovely founders, and tasted some really special local coffee. Bean Shipper are a transparent, community-first operation that is single-handedly raising the bar for what you can expect from a Malaysian brew.
