Honduras, the full name of the Republic of Honduras (Spanish: Rep ú blica de Honduras), is a mountainous country in Central and North America, bordering Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, located between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with a coastline.

Honduras is mountainous, and more than 3/4 of the territory are mountains and plateaus. Mountains extend from west to east, inland for lava plateaus, many mountain valleys, coastal plains.

Honduras has a tropical climate and the coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate. The annual average temperature is 23 ℃; the rainfall is abundant, and the annual precipitation in the northern coastal zone and mountain windward slope is as high as 3000 mm.

Due to the geographical conditions of Honduras, the coffee growing environment is no less than that of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. However, due to the lack of strong support in the settlement and transportation of raw beans, Honduras is less well-known in the consumer market. Honduras (Honduras) exported $246424000 of coffee in 2010.

There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, dominated by small coffee merchants, most of which are less than 3.5ha, accounting for 60 per cent of Hongguo's production. In the coffee garden, people collect coffee beans by hand, and then carefully deal with them and process them to meet the needs of the market and meet the different tastes of consumers. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, providing the world with perfect coffee, unique coffee aroma and multi-quality, making it the second largest coffee exporter in Central America and the tenth largest coffee exporter in the world.

The San Juan Ciudo region is located 40 kilometers northeast of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. During the Spanish colonial period, it thrived on the mining industry. As the gold and silver ore is gradually mined out, the local economy is also in decline. In order to survive, the locals began to transform the coffee industry and soon became experts in the cultivation of boutique coffee.

The San Juan Hido region is the gateway to La Tegra Park, the first national park in Honduras, with beautiful natural environment and scenery. As the national park is nearby, the local area also pays great attention to the protection of the environment and ecology.

COMISAJUL is a cooperative organized by hundreds of coffee farmers in the San Juan Heido region. The coffee here is mainly bourbon Bourbon, grown in mountains 1450-1550 meters above sea level, shaded by bananas, avocados, papayas and other fruit trees. Coffee farmers pick ripe fruits by hand during the harvest season and dry them in the sun after washing. The fermented water with coffee peel and pulp produced by water washing is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. So the local coffee is fair trade and organically certified.
