Parainema - Washed

Finca Amazonas – Parainema Washed Belen de Umbría, Risaralda, Colombia

Flavor Notes: 🍊 Pomelo 🍋 Lemon Zest ⭐ Star Fruit

At 2200 MASL in the mist‑laden highlands of Belen de Umbría, Finca Amazonas sits where cool air and steep terrain shape coffees of striking clarity. Under the care of Juan David Gallego, this Parainema—rooted in the Villa Sarchi × Timor Hybrid lineage—shows how a washed process can reveal the variety’s crystalline, citrus‑driven character.

Harvested in May/June 2026 and roasted to a light, expressive profile, the cup opens with a luminous fragrance: bright citrus peel, gentle florals, and a hint of fresh star fruit. The washed process sharpens the structure, allowing each note to land with precision.

On the palate, the experience is vibrant yet composed. Pomelo brings a rounded, juicy brightness; lemon zest adds a clean, sparkling edge; and star fruit contributes a delicate tropical lift. The body remains juicy throughout, carrying medium‑high citric and malic acidity that gives the cup its refreshing momentum.

The finish is crisp and lingering, leaving behind impressions of citrus pith and subtle tropical sweetness.
