Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences minimal temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what is called winter is actually the rainy season, while what is called summer is actually the dry season. In tropical regions, altitude has a greater impact on temperature than the duration of precipitation throughout the year. San Juancito's geographical location at an altitude of over 1239 meters makes the temperature feel slightly cool throughout all four seasons. During summer (March-June), the highest temperature is often around 26°C, while the lowest temperature averages about 18°C. The average maximum temperature in winter is 20°C, while the minimum is about 14°C.

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 1450-1550 meters, shaded by banana, avocado, papaya, and other fruit trees. Coffee farmers hand-pick mature fruits during the harvest season, process them using the washed method, and then dry them in the sun. The fermented water containing coffee fruit pulp and skin 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 gentle acidity, and features milk chocolate flavor.

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

Although San Juancito was historically famous for its mineral deposits, it is now recognized for its location within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park—a rainforest ecosystem and also Honduras' first national park. The park serves as a massive reservoir, providing drinking water for 500,000 residents of the capital.

In Honduras, coffee-producing regions are divided into six major regions, spread across the western and southern areas: Santa Barbara, El Paraiso, Copan, La Paz, Comayagua, and Olancho. The average growing altitude is above 1100 meters. The coffee variety is Arabica, with 69% classified as HG "High Grown" coffee, 12% as SHG "Strictly High Grown" coffee, and 19% as CS. Main varieties include Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarchi, and Lempira.

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is coffee produced from Arabica coffee Bourbon cultivar trees. Bourbon coffee was initially cultivated in Réunion, which was also called Île Bourbon before 1789. It was later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, and it is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee production regions in the world. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes of 3500 to 6500 feet (1062-1972 meters).
