Yensi's washed Parainema is a juicy and sweet coffee sourced through Semilla, and their projects in Honduras which work closely with improving the financial situation of coffee producers in the fertile mountains of Honduras. This coffee is silky sweet and reminds us of pavlova, with a stonefruit-like acidity, and floral jasmine-like aromas.
Cherries are picked at peak ripeness and depulped, then put in
plastic bags and undergo a 40 hour fermentation in sealed plastic bags. Then coffee is
placed on raised beds in a polytunnel and slowly dry for 20 to 25 days. The
resulting dried cherries are stored in plastic bags to preserve their quality.
Coffee production in these areas are overly exploited by large corporations and internationally backed capitalisation on these coffees. Because of this, and an ever increasing income inequality crisis, Honduras has thus had a mass exodus of coffee producers and workforce, emigrating to larger cities or internationally in the search for better paid jobs. Semilla's work help producers re-invest into the community, making production easier, thus improving on quality and raising prices.

At 30 years old, Yensi began her journey in coffee cultivation in 2021. With her husband’s help, she planted the area she now manages, and through dedication and hard work, they maintain a small coffee plot of 1.5 hectares. As a third-generation coffee grower, Yensi continues a tradition passed down by her grandparents and parents, who dedicated their lives to coffee farming. In their region, the land is ideal for coffee cultivation, providing an income for the family. Her hopes are to give her children better opportunities, ensuring they receive a good education and proper nutrition, while also expanding her coffee plot over time. Yensi is passionate about coffee cultivation. From a young age, she helped her parents, and now she works alongside her husband in this family tradition. For them, coffee has always been a vital source of income. Despite this, continuing in the coffee business has been challenging, with low prices, rising disease, and pest issues, along with increased production costs.
