About the Farm
High in the Matagalpa region amidst the Isabelia Mountain Range sits Finca San Antonio. The Günkel Mairena family has been growing coffee for 46 years on Finca San Antonio with Maria Felícitas Mairena de Günkel currently running and managing the 79 hectares of coffee-producing land today. The farm executes excellent environmental standards, with most of the coffee being grown under shade within agroforestry systems. 45% of the farm is protected as El Arenal Nature Reserve, housing one of the few intact portions of the cloud forest in Nicaragua. In 2001, the farm was even declared a Private Wildlife Reserve.
About the coffee
Parainema is a hybrid coffee varietal created in Honduras that is resistant to coffee-leaf rust and some nematodes. It’s well adapted to grow in medium altitudes and provides a good yield on coffee.
The Honduran Coffee Institute (IHCAFE) created the Parainema cultivar by selectively breeding two members of the Sarchimor variety. The main goal was to increase the resistance to coffee lead rust while still maintaining quality.
