San Juan Sitio Estate

San Juan Sitio is a small village in central Honduras, located 40 kilometers northeast of the capital Tegucigalpa. The town is part of the Francisco Morazán district.

Although San Juan Sitio has historically been known for its mineral deposits, the estate is famous because it is located within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park, a rainforest ecosystem and Honduras's first national park.

The park serves as a massive water reservoir, and its climate and altitude are highly conducive to producing high-quality coffee beans. Coffee here is grown on mountains at altitudes of 1,450-1,550 meters, shaded by banana, avocado, and papaya trees.
