Discovering San Juancito: Honduras' Hidden Coffee Gem

San Juancito is a small village in central Honduras, located 40 kilometers northeast of the capital Tegucigalpa. The town is part of the Francisco Morazán municipality, which also includes Nuevo Rosario, Guacamaya, and Plan Grande, with a total population of approximately 1,400 people.

Although San Juancito was historically known for its mineral deposits, today it stands out due to its location within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park—a rainforest ecosystem and Honduras' first national park. The park serves as a massive watershed, providing drinking water for 500,000 residents of the capital city.

Terroir and Climate

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences relatively small temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what is considered winter is actually the rainy season, while summer is the dry season. In tropical regions, altitude has a greater impact on temperature than the timing of rainfall throughout the year. San Juancito's geographical location at an altitude of 1,239 meters above sea level results in slightly cool temperatures year-round. During summer (March-June), the highest temperature often reaches around 26°C, while the lowest temperature averages about 18°C. In winter, the average highest temperature is 20°C, with the lowest around 14°C.

Coffee Cultivation and Processing

The modern economy of San Juancito largely depends on agriculture, with most of it being small-scale coffee production. Its climate and altitude are highly favorable for producing high-quality coffee beans. COMISAJUL, a cooperative organization of hundreds of small coffee farmers in central Honduras, is located in San Juancito. COMISAJUL is a cooperative organized by hundreds of coffee farmers in the San Juancito region, where coffee is grown on mountains at altitudes of 1,450-1,550 meters, shaded by banana, avocado, and papaya trees.

Coffee farmers hand-pick ripe fruits during the harvest season, process them using the washed method, and then dry them in the sun. The fermented water containing coffee pulp and skin from the washing process is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. This batch of coffee offers a very clean taste, high sweetness, very mild acidity, and features milk chocolate flavors.
