Botijas, Honduras

Regional Botijas coffee is grown in the mountainous region of Las Botijas, in La Villa de San Antonio, Comayagua, Honduras. This coffee, sourced by our friends at Volcafe,  is cultivated by dedicated smallholder farmers whose livelihoods are deeply rooted in coffee production. The region’s geography, with its ideal altitude and cool climate, provides the perfect conditions for growing high-quality beans. Combined with careful agronomic practices, these factors result in a cup profile that is complex, vibrant, and well-balanced. This coffee is the Honduran element of our current Hillside Blend. As a single origin coffee, we get tasting notes of papaya and strawberry jam.

Sustainability is central to the work of the coffee farmers in this region with practices designed to [protect both bean quality and the surrounding ecosystem.

Las Botijas is a rural community known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. Visitors are drawn to its scenic waterfalls, such as El Salto del Ángeland Las Campañas, and its mountain trails that are ideal for eco-tourism. The area retains its traditional architecture, with adobe houses and clay tile roofs, and continues to use ox carts for transportation. In addition to coffee, the region’s climate supports the cultivation of vegetables and avocados. Regional Botijas coffee embodies the best of Honduran specialty coffee. It offers a distinctive flavour profile, reflects a deep commitment to sustainability and quality, and tells a story of passion, tradition, and local development.
