Alexia Mejia

Alexia Mejia started producing coffee back in 2016, but began commercialization efforts in
2021 after the pandemic in 2021 with a key focus on specialty coffees. Alexia’s coffee pillar is the Parainema. As a Honduran variety, she believes it highlights and exemplifies the exceptional quality
Honduras has to offer, even in the world’s most competitive coffee markets. This coffee stands as a proven testament to that.

Lot Processing description

This coffee was manually harvested at peak ripeness and sugar content levels of 20-21° Brix during the months of January through  April of 2025. Upon harvest, this Parainema was dry fermented in sealed barrels for 24-28 hours where the temperatures ranged from 30 – 32°C. The fermentation process was stopped when the coffee’s sugar content levels reached 11.5-12° Brix. The coffee was subsequently washed and dried in unshaded raised beds for 12-15 days where the temperatures ranged from 20 – 27°C until it reached 10-11% moisture levels before being prepped for export.

Our Approach to Transparency

At Euphoria, transparency begins with relationships. We believe that great coffee is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and shared commitment, long before it ever reaches your cup.

Instead of focusing solely on numbers or certifications, we prioritize long-standing partnerships with the farmers who grow our coffee. Some of these relationships have been years in the making, built through consistent communication, shared goals, and genuine care for one another’s success.

We believe the length of these relationships is one of the most meaningful indicators of transparency. A farmer would not choose to work with us year after year if we were cutting corners, negotiating unfairly, or treating their work as anything less than the craft it is. When both sides continue to return, it’s because the partnership is healthy, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

For some of our newer relationships, the foundation is the same: direct access and open communication are non-negotiable. We do not pursue sourcing situations where we can’t talk directly with the people producing the coffee, nor do we enter relationships that don’t have the potential to grow into something long-term. Our goal is always consistency, trust, and shared success, not one-time transactions.

Whenever possible, we visit our producing partners face to face. Sitting down together, walking their farms, and experiencing their work firsthand is invaluable. These moments deepen our connection and help ensure that our sourcing practices reflect our values in real, tangible ways.

When you enjoy our coffee, you’re supporting real people, real families, and real histories, thoughtfully connected across the world. That’s the heart of what we do, and that’s the kind of transparency we’re proud to stand behind.
