Little Feet Coffee


We purchase our coffee from Cooperativa Cafeletera Capucas Limitada in Las Capucas, Honduras. This cooperative of just over 100 farmers is located near the well known National Park ¨Celaque¨, which means box of water. Thousands of tourists visit this region of the country, where you can find the famous Mayan ruins. The land about this small village is ideal for coffee growing due to the good soil and climate conditions and the high altitude which is between 1200 to 1800m. The cooperative produces about 181 tons of green coffee, which is sold within a few weeks of the harvests end.


In Capucas, the cooperative has installed an excellent system for wet processing, new drying machines and a fully equipped laboratory enabling sample testing of roasted coffee.


Capucas coffee is appreciated all over the world as a mild coffee with full aroma and body and fine acidity. Its special flavor component is the chocolate taste, which makes Capucas one of the best specialty coffees of this country of Central America.
