Bourbon Coffee: A Premium Arabica Variety

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is a coffee produced from Arabica coffee Bourbon cultivar trees. Bourbon coffee was originally cultivated in Réunion, which was also known as Bourbon Island (Île Bourbon) before 1789. It was later occupied by France, connecting it with the African continent and Latin America. It is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee production regions in the world. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes of 3,500 to 6,500 feet (1,062–1,972 meters).

Climate and Geography

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences relatively small temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what's considered winter is actually the rainy season, while what's considered 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 1,239 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.

Agriculture and Coffee Production

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 1,450-1,550 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 sun-dry them. The fermented water from washing, containing coffee pulp and fruit flesh, is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. This batch of coffee has a very clean taste, high sweetness, very gentle acidity, with milk chocolate flavor notes.
