Honduras Montecillos (Espress Roast)

The Montecillos region of Honduras is known for is dramatic altitude changes and stunning landscape.

The steep elevation of this region provides cool evenings which is ideal for coffee growing.

This area is right along the border with El Salvador in the Southwest Corner of the country.

Small-holder farmers come together here and deliver blended parchment to a centralized mill when coffee is not kept separate for microlots.

The exporters here offer a ton of support to these small-holder farmers including training on environmental practices and providing equal gender opportunity. 

The majority of the producers in this region are of Lenca dissent, and the majority of their traditional practices and culture are preserved in their way of life and approach to producing coffee.
