Otto's Coffee Beans

 Honduran coffee tends to have milder acidity and a stronger caramel sweetness. Since 2007, the domestic coffee industry has reversed its decline and developed steadily, with fairly positive news emerging from the producing regions in recent years. In the development of specialty coffee, Honduras has clearly drawn on the experience of other coffee-growing areas and gradually gained recognition. In addition to the six major producing regions announced by IHCAFE, the newly established Western Region and Honduras Western Coffee (HWC) have attracted considerable attention.

Finca Altos de Erapuca, an Otto’s estate, is a small village located in central Honduras, about 40 kilometers northeast of Tegucigalpa, the country’s capital. The town falls under the jurisdiction of Francisco Morazán. Although San Juan de Dios has historically been known for its mineral resources, the estate is notable for being situated within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park — a rainforest ecosystem and Honduras’ first national park. The park serves as a major water reservoir, and its climate and elevation are highly conducive to producing high-quality coffee beans. The coffee here is grown at altitudes between 1,450 and 1,550 meters, shaded by fruit trees such as bananas, avocados, and papayas.
