Las Botijas, from Comayagua, Honduras
Las Botijas Regional is a washed communal lot from the community of Las Botijas in Comayagua, Honduras. The farms contributing to this lot are sitting between 1,500 and 1,800 m.a.s.l., where they grow a blend of traditional varieties (Catuai, Lempira, IHCAFE90 and Parainema)
The process begins with strict hand-picking of cherries at their peak ripeness, delivered to the wet mill on the same day. After floating to remove defects, the cherries are de-pulped and then fermented in concrete tanks for 8 to 12 hours. Clean water is then added to stop the fermentation, and the beans are agitated with wooden paddles to remove the mucilage. The parchment is then drained and spread in thin layers on patios with constant movement for 10 – 13 days, depending on the weather.
The Treasure of Comayagua
The name Las Botijas comes from the region’s dense vegetation and dark, reflective waters (often described as “black water” or deep pools resembling clay vessels known as botijas). Local legend also speaks of buried treasures hidden in such vessels. Today, however, the true treasure of the region grows above ground: coffee.
The farms of Las Botijas benefit from an exceptional microclimate. Protected by dense morning mist and surrounded by forest biodiversity, cherries mature slowly at high elevations, allowing sugars to concentrate fully and produce dense, high-quality beans.
Regional Las Botijas is brought to you by our exporting partners in Honduras, CONEXH (Corporación Exportadora de Café de Origen Natural de Honduras), a family-owned company founded in 2021. They are on a mission to elevate Honduran coffee quality through sustainable farming practices while reducing agrochemical use and strengthening social impact in Honduras’ highlands.
