A delicate yet expressive coffee, showcasing floral brightness, juicy sweetness, and a refined cocoa finish.

This limited edition release celebrates the harmony between art and coffee. The Blooming Beans lot is a rare and carefully processed Natural Anaerobic Parainema, selected for its refined floral aromatics and vibrant fruit character.

To enhance the sensory experience, we collaborated with ceramic artist Anett Sáfrán to create a custom-designed aroma cup, tailored specifically to highlight the coffee’s complex bouquet. 

The Blooming Beans – NICARAGUA Art & Coffee Series Limited Edition gift set is available on this website.

The Coffee – A Unique Expression of Parainema

Los Granadillos, a family-owned farm in San Fernando, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua, has been cultivating high-quality coffee for over 50 years. Under the guidance of Jose Ivan Agurcia Martinez, the farm is dedicated to sustainable, eco-friendly practices, preserving biodiversity while producing exceptional coffee.

A Focus on the Parainema Variety

Parainema is a hybrid variety developed in Honduras as part of research programs aimed at improving disease resistance while preserving high cup quality. It originates from the Sarchimor family, blending the durability of Timor Hybrid with the delicate, complex acidity of Villa Sarchi. While initially bred for resilience, Parainema has gained recognition for its vivid fruit character, expressive floral notes, and layered sweetness.

Grown under shade at 1300-1450m, the cherries mature slowly, allowing their bright aromatics and deep complexity to develop. This lot undergoes natural anaerobic fermentation, where cherries are sealed in barrels for 72 to 360 hours. This controlled fermentation enhances juiciness and depth of flavor, resulting in a coffee with exceptional clarity and intensity. After fermentation, the beans dry on African beds for 20 days, alternating between sun and shade to ensure even drying and optimal flavor development.
