Honduras Abeja Honey

Honduras Abeja Honey: About The Coffee

The Capucas Cooperative

This coffee is produced and processed by families that have diversified incomes and that, along with their coffee farms, also have bee hives.

The objective is for Capucas to further promote honey production among their associates – coffee producers and beekeepers – and therefore diversify their income and have great economic stability. Existing apiarists can benefit from new and better hives, and those new to bee-keeping equipment and training.

Harvest & Processing

Ripe cherries are picked by the men and women of the community, collated at the producer’s home and then taken to the cooperative’s wet processing plant where the pulping and drying process takes place. The coffee is dried for 15 to 22 days depending on the weather. Whilst the coffee is drying it is regularly raked to ensure even drying and avoiding accidental fermentation.
