An Honduran legend says that Comayagua is the birthplace of
coffee in Honduras. The area would be well-suited for it: high
altitude, fertile soil and a humid tropical climate. But this climate is
also a challenge when it comes to processing the cherries, as the high
rainfalls make it difficult to dry the beans properly.
Coffee is one of the most important economic activity of Comayagua
and the main driver of its economical development. Smallproducers
scatter the landscape, and while Comayagua is not the most dense
area of coffee trees, the producers have some of the most productive

farms in the country. Sixty-five producers work with our sister company in Honduras, Molinos de Honduras, and have produced our Montaña de Comayagua lot.
