Honduras washed Arabica HG EP, Siguatepeque, Los Lirios

Located in the very middle of Central America, Honduras is a country that shows off with its natural beauty. Endless forests meet lone roads cutting through. Some people even refer to Honduras as the „green lung“ of Central America. Some of the lush mountain ranges are dedicated to the sweet and nutty Honduran coffees we have grown so fond of.

Honduras boasts six distinct coffee-producing regions, with one of them being Comayagua, nestled in the heart of the country and encompassing the departments of Comayagua and Francisco Morazán. Coming from the town of Siguatepeque, located 125 kilometers away from the capital city of Tegucigalpa, this coffee was grown by members of Cohorsil, a cooperative established in Siguatepeque in December of 1980.

The region lies in the Central Mountains of Honduras at about 1,100 meters above sea level. With its mild climate, it offers excellent conditions for growing coffee. COHORSIL has more than 40 years of experience in coffee production and follows socially and environmentally responsible practices to take care of the region‘s natural resources. The farmers implement best agricultural practices and special techniques to continuously increase their productivity and improve the quality of their coffees. During the harvest, the coffee cherries are hand-picked with great care before being processed in the local wet mill.After being de-pulped and fermented, the beans are fermented and then thoroughly washed with clean water to remove any remaining mucilage or debris and then dried until reaching the desired moisture level, around 12.5%.
