San Juancito: The Heart of Honduran Coffee

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 district, which also includes Nuevo Rosario, Guacamaya, and Plan Grande, with a total population of approximately 1,400.

Although San Juancito was historically known for its mineral deposits, today it gains importance from 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 reservoir, providing drinking water for 500,000 residents of the capital.

Coffee Details

Honduras San Juancito Lot#1

Country: Honduras
Region: San Juancito
Altitude: 1450-1550 meters
Processing: Washed

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences minimal temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what's called 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. San Juancito's geographical location at an altitude of 1239 meters above sea level makes the temperature feel slightly cool year-round. In summer (March-June), the highest temperature is often around 26°C, while the lowest temperature averages about 18°C. Winter's average maximum temperature is 20°C, with minimums around 14°C.

San Juancito's modern economy largely depends on agriculture, with most of it being small-scale coffee production, where the 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 several hundred coffee farmers in the San Juancito region, where coffee is grown on mountains at altitudes of 1450-1550 meters, shaded by banana, avocado, and papaya trees. Coffee farmers manually harvest ripe fruits during the harvest season, process them using the washed method, and then sun-dry them. The fermented water containing coffee pulp and skins from the washing process is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. This batch of coffee has a very clean taste, high sweetness, very soft acidity, and features milk chocolate flavors.
