Description:
The region of Casitas District, in Corquín Copán, Honduras is famous for its top notch coffee production thanks to its altitude, soil and favorable weather conditions. Local farmers cultivate coffee on family owned farms using methods that harmonize with the environment by often combining coffee cultivation with other crops. They employ processing techniques such as washed processing for a vibrant taste, honey processing for a sweeter and more intricate flavor profile and natural processing for a fruity and robust flavor experience. The coffee from this area is prized for its balanced acidity, sweet nuances and velvety bodied texture showcasing flavors like chocolate, caramel, citrus fruits and tropical notes. Many farmers are members of cooperatives that promote resource sharing and knowledge exchange to enhance market opportunities and improve the lives of farmers and their families. These cooperatives place importance on trade principles and sustainable farming practices to ensure compensation for farmers while safeguarding the environment.
