Honduras Capucas SHG Organic Green Coffee Beans
Our Honduras Capucas SHG Organic originates from COCAFCAL, a small cooperative located in the Copan region of Honduras.
Cultivated at elevations ranging from 1350 to 1600 meters above sea level, this coffee is a blend of Bourbon, Catuaí, Caturra, IHCAFE 90, Lempira, and Pacas varieties, and holds organic certification. Employing the fully washed processing method, this coffee exhibits flavors of roasted hazelnut, nutty caramel, and milk chocolate.
The exact arrival date of coffee in Honduras is unknown, but it is thought that seeds came from Costa Rica between 1799 and 1804, along with other goods carried by traveling merchants. Presently, Honduras stands as the primary coffee producer in Central America, with the industry holding significant importance in the national economy.
Honduras is often overshadowed by its neighbors Guatemala, Costa Rica, and El Salvador in the Central American coffee industry, despite its significant annual production and potential for growth and quality improvement.
