Honduras Coffee Unveiled: The CAFESCOR Cooperative and Its Vibrant Flavors
At Gringo Roasters, we believe every coffee has a story, and our Honduras Coffee is one of community, sustainability, and exceptional craftsmanship. Grown in the Corquin region, a gem of western Honduras, this coffee embodies the dedication of local farmers and the region’s rich coffee heritage.
Meet CAFESCOR: The Cooperative Behind the Beans
The journey of our Honduras Coffee begins with CAFESCOR (Cafes Especiales Corquin, S.A. de C.V.), a cooperative committed to producing some of the finest specialty coffee in the world. With 131 producer partners, including 37 women and 94 men, CAFESCOR farms span 400 hectares of fertile highland terrain at altitudes of 1,200–1,800 meters.
But CAFESCOR is more than a coffee producer—it’s a force for positive change. The cooperative offers training in sustainable agriculture, empowering farmers to preserve the local ecosystem while improving their yields. Beyond farming, CAFESCOR invests in community development, focusing on education and social initiatives to uplift the region. Their holistic approach ensures the coffee they produce benefits both people and the planet.
A Taste of Honduras
Honduran coffee is celebrated for its richness and complexity, and our offering from CAFESCOR does not disappoint. Through fully washed and sun-dried processing, the beans retain their bright, nuanced flavors, creating a cup that’s both vibrant and balanced.
With a medium acidity and medium body, this coffee delivers:
• Citrus: Bright, lively notes that invigorate the palate.
• Dark Chocolate: A rich, bold foundation with indulgent depth.
• Roasted Almonds: Warm, nutty undertones for a comforting finish.
Every sip reflects the care and precision that CAFESCOR farmers bring to their craft, making this coffee a true testament to Honduran coffee excellence.
Perfectly Roasted for Full Flavor
Back at our roastery, we’ve developed a medium-dark roast to enhance the beans’ robust caramel and brown sugar notes while preserving their natural spiced undertones. This roast strikes the perfect balance, highlighting the coffee’s vibrant warmth and smooth sweetness.
