Climate and Geography

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences relatively small temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what's called winter is actually the rainy season, while what's called summer is actually the dry season. In tropical regions, altitude has a greater impact on temperature than the timing of precipitation 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. During summer (March-June), the highest temperature is often 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.

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, and papaya trees. During the harvest season, coffee farmers hand-pick ripe fruits, which are then washed and sun-dried. The fermented water containing coffee peel and pulp 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 flavors.

Coffee Details

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 stands out for being located within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park—a rainforest ecosystem and also Honduras's first national park. The park serves as a massive watershed, providing drinking water for 500,000 residents of the capital.

Honduras Coffee Regions

In Honduras, coffee-producing regions are divided into six major regions, distributed across the western and southern parts: Santa Barbara, El Paraiso, Copan, La Paz, Comayagua, and Olancho, with an average growing altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. 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

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