Nicaragua

October ‘17

Situated near San Pedro, Copan, in the southern Honduras, Capucas provides processing services, financing, training and technical assistance to their co-op members and more than 250 other farmers in the region. The co-operative is very dynamic and is continually looking at ways of implementing community and development projects within a sustainable framework. The main initiatives centre on food security, environmental management and funding micro-enterprises. Some of the exciting projects involve bio-gas and bio-fuel generation from coffee waste, organic fertiliser and a women’s coffee roastery.

Coffee is grown under shade in an area that also contains orange, banana, pine and other kinds of trees, meaning that organic coffees from the co-op can also be certified as ‘Bird Friendly’. Demonstrating the progressive and forward-thinking management of Omar Rodriguez, some of these products are now finding export markets outside of Honduras.

Cherry collected on the farms is washed and fermented for 24 hours. The pulp left over after processing is used to make organic fertilizer for the trees. Parchment is subsequently dried in green houses (solar dryers), where it remains for about 15 days to achieve optimum moisture content. This covered and slower drying leads to a quality and consistency we enjoy here at Bewley’s.

Great coffees from Honduras typically exhibit a balanced profile, with the crisp acidity improving in proportion as the altitude increases. The coffees from Capucas are no exception and find favour as both an espresso blend component and as a versatile single origin.
