Your guide to Honduras Green Coffee Beans

  • Where is coffee grown in Honduras?

    Coffee is grown across six main regions: Copán, Montecillos, Comayagua, El Paraíso, Agalta and Opalaca. Each one has its own microclimate and elevation range, which means flavour profiles vary widely. Most coffee is produced by smallholder farmers working on modest plots, often with family labour and support from local cooperatives. The diversity across these regions is one of Honduras’s greatest strengths.

  • How has Honduras emerged as a recognised specialty origin?

    The country has always had excellent conditions for coffee, but it took time for quality-focused production to take hold. Investment in research, processing education and farm renovation - especially through IHCAFE - helped shift Honduras from a commodity-focused origin to one capable of producing distinctive, traceable lots. Recognition grew gradually. Cup of Excellence competitions, cooperative-led training, and improved infrastructure helped establish Honduras as a reliable source of high-quality coffee.

  • Which processing methods are common in Honduras?

    The washed process is dominant and reflects the country’s commitment to clarity and balance in the cup. However, producers are increasingly experimenting with natural, honey and controlled fermentation processes. These newer approaches are still smaller in scale, but they add welcome variety - from clean and sweet to more fruit-forward and textured coffees.

  • When is the Honduras coffee harvest?

    Harvest generally runs from November through April, with fresh coffees shipping from late spring into early summer. Higher farms harvest a little later, but the seasonal rhythm is consistent year to year.

Your questions, answered

Are Honduran coffees suitable for both home and professional roasting?

Yes. Honduran coffees typically respond well to gradual heat application, giving clear feedback throughout the roast. This makes them straightforward to work with on both small and larger roasting setups.

Do Honduran coffees work better for filter or espresso?

They are adaptable. Washed lots often make clean, sweet filter coffees at lighter roast levels. With slightly longer development, they can also produce smooth, balanced espresso that performs well both black and in milk.

Why are Honduran coffees considered good value?

Honduras produces a wide range of qualities at scale. This gives buyers the option to choose coffees that match their needs - from dependable everyday offerings to expressive single-farm microlots - without compromising on flavour or traceability.

What varieties are commonly grown in Honduras?

Caturra, Catuai, Pacas, Typica and a range of rust-resistant hybrids are widely cultivated. These varieties adapt well to the country’s elevation ranges and climate patterns, helping support both cup quality and resilience.
