HONDURAS LAS CAPUCAS 1KG

Honduras Las Capucas is a coffee that reflects one of the most exciting directions in Honduran specialty coffee: consistent quality, collective work and a very strong balance between accessibility and cup expression. This lot comes from the Copan region, from producers connected to Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada - COCAFCAL, a cooperative founded in 1999 by Omar Rodriguez to support smallholder farmers in the Las Capucas area. Today, the cooperative brings together hundreds of members from local communities and works not only as a processing and marketing structure, but also as a source of education, technical support and community development. Behind this coffee there is a very practical and quality-focused approach: selective handpicking, centralized processing, controlled fermentation, washing in clean water and carefully monitored drying. The parchment is dried slowly, usually over 10 to 20 days, while the cooperative’s infrastructure, including solar dryers, helps create a clean, stable and consistent profile. In the cup, Las Capucas is exactly the kind of Honduras we love for modern espresso: sweet, round and comforting, but still clean enough to feel defined rather than generic. Notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut and red apple create a balanced profile, with gentle acidity, pleasant body and a clean finish. As part of our Foundation range, this coffee is not meant to impress through intense fermentations or exotic notes, but through consistency, clarity and how easily it can become a daily espresso. It works beautifully both as a straight espresso and in milk-based drinks, where its chocolate and hazelnut character becomes even rounder and sweeter.
