Capucas
Capucas is a blend of coffee from the mountains of El Cerro del Celaque, located between the Honduran states of Lempira, Ocotepeque and Copán. Celaque has an elevation ranging from 3,200 to 9,400 ft. There are numerous farming towns throughout Celaque, including the town of Marcala, famous for its organic Arabica beans. The main varieties grown are catuai, parainema, IHCAFE 90 and lempira.
Cafe Copán is a mild yet full-bodied High Grown (HG) coffee from the highlands of western Honduras. The warm days and cool nights of western Honduras, combined with fertile soil and fresh mountain air, make a splendid place to grow coffee.
