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.
