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 timing of rainfall throughout the year. San Juancito's geographical location at an altitude of 1239 meters above sea level makes the temperature feel slightly cool throughout all four seasons. In summer (March-June), the highest temperature is often around 26°C, while the lowest temperature averages around 18°C. In winter, the average highest temperature is 20°C, while the lowest 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 very 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 organization formed by hundreds of coffee farmers in the San Juancito area, 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 ripe fruits during the harvest season, process them using the washed method and then sun-dry them. 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 has a very clean taste, high sweetness, very gentle acidity, and milk chocolate flavor notes.

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, today it gains importance because it is located 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.

Bourbon Coffee

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is coffee produced from Arabica coffee trees of the Bourbon cultivar. Bourbon coffee was originally 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 producing regions in the world. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes of 3500 to 6500 feet (1062-1972 meters).
