Its name honors the Liquidambar tree, abundant in the region, whose autumn leaves and sweet sap perfectly symbolize what we do: transform, with patience, faith, and science, the richness of the forest and the land into the liquid amber of a cup of coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur coffee grows beneath a diverse forest that envelops the crop, high atop a mountain touching the clouds with a breathtaking view.

We experienced unemployment. We ran out of capital to reinvest. There were separations, breakups, and emotional exhaustion. There were plenty of opportunities to give up, but coffee taught us that, just as the harvests don't stop, neither do dreams. Even when life turned adverse, our coffee continued its journey, rising against the elements, against the seasons, maintaining its quality year after year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, despite being small, we have achieved a consistent and verifiable level of quality, with scores that have placed us among the top 30 Honduran coffees according to the 2023 Honduras Cup of Excellence, and with buyers abroad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor this lot, the cherries are harvested and placed in sacks for 24 hours. Then, they are anaerobically fermented in barrels for 16 to 24 hours depending on the coffee’s condition.

Despite all of it, she continued pushing forward. That’s a big part of what makes this release so important to us: this is the first year we’ve been able to buy from her directly, and it means a lot to finally make that happen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe coffee itself is outstanding. It’s one of our favorite and most unique Paraneimas we’ve tasted. It starts with a distinct sweet, crisped-apple note, then shifts into bright, green tart kiwi and purple plum as it cools. There’s also a subtle herbal layer in the background that adds complexity without overpowering the cup. You can clearly taste the care, attention, and high quality reflected in the harvest—an exceptionally clean and impressive example of Honduran Paraneima.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’re genuinely excited to share this coffee with you, and we really hope you enjoy it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moonwake Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"227g \/ 8oz","offer_id":51585777041730,"sku":null,"price":16.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":51585777074498,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2.2kg \/ 5lb","offer_id":51585777107266,"sku":null,"price":107.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/6564\/4354\/files\/AlexiaLiquidambarWashedParainema_Assets_Web.png?v=1764194600","url":"https:\/\/moonwake-coffee-roasters-wholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/alexia-mejia-finca-liquidambar-washed-parainema-honduras","provider":"Moonwake Coffee Roasters Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
