About
Copán is one of Honduras' most established coffee regions, located in the western highlands near the famous Maya archaeological site. The region benefits from Caribbean moisture that provides consistent rainfall, while limestone-rich soils contribute mineral complexity to the cup. Copán coffees typically display a balanced, medium-bodied profile with chocolate, caramel, and mild citrus notes. The region has seen significant investment in wet-mill infrastructure and quality training programs in recent years. Copán's combination of suitable terroir and improving processing standards has helped Honduras become Central America's largest coffee-producing nation.
