Honduras Coffee Regions

In Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major regions, distributed across the western and southern parts: Santa Barbara, El Paraiso, Copan, La Paz, Comayagua, and Olancho. The average cultivation altitude is above 1100 meters above sea level. The coffee varieties are Arabica species, with 69% belonging to HG "High Grown" grade, 12% being SHG "Strictly High Grown," and 19% being 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 initially cultivated in Réunion, which was also called Bourbon Island (Île Bourbon) before 1789. It was later occupied by France, connecting it with the African continent and Latin America. It is now also 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).

Climate and Geography

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences relatively small temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, the so-called winter is actually the rainy season, while the so-called summer is actually the dry season. In tropical regions, altitude's effect on temperature is greater 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. In 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.

Coffee Production 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. Here, coffee is grown on mountains at altitudes of 1450-1550 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 has a very clean taste, high sweetness, very mild acidity, and features milk chocolate flavors.

San Juancito Overview

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 1400.

Although San Juancito was historically famous 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 also Honduras's first national park. The park serves as a massive reservoir, providing drinking water for 500,000 residents of the capital.
