About This Coffee

La Avi is an exclusive Organic-certified offering by our friends at BonCafe. The name "La Avi" derives from a type of wasp used for broca control on coffee farms. Within their extensive network in Honduras, BonCafe will purchase the entire harvests of organic-certified smallholder farmers, who are generally situated 1400 - 1800 masl and growing the prevalent specialty varieties of the area: Catuai, Bourbon, Lempira, Pacas, and IHCAFE 90. Each farmer's harvests are graded and cupped for quality, then classified into three tiers, with the farmers receiving premiums for each tier on top of the base price paid for the coffee. The highest scoring lots are sold as individual microlots, while the lots in the next tier are combined into offerings like La Avi, which constitute high-quality, approachable coffees suitable for a variety of uses.

History of Coffee in Honduras

Prior to 1900, coffee was essentially a garden crop in Honduras, grown on small lots of land and traded within the country for internal consumption. Less than 10 percent of the coffee harvested was exported in 1894. By 1900, exports had more than doubled, but banana was still king. A decline in banana production over the decades coincided with a slow but steady growth in coffee production. Today, Honduras is the largest coffee producer in Central America, exporting more than 5 million bags last year, and is one of the largest exporters of specialty grade coffee. 

Growing Coffee in Honduras

Honduras is somewhat unique in that it experienced the most significant growth in export volume after the emergence of the specialty coffee industry, so new farmers and new mills begin with quality as their goal. Coffee is now pervasive in Honduras, grown in 210 of the 298 municipalities and throughout central and coastal highlands within six districts identified as Coffee Regions. Starting in the north and moving south, the regions are Copan, Comayagua, El Paraiso, and Agalta. More than 60 percent of Honduras coffee is grown above 12 hundred meters and as high as 16 hundred. Almost 90 percent of Honduras coffee is grown on small (less than 153 bags) and medium (between 153 and 766 bags) sized farms. Virtually all Honduras coffee (over 90 percent) is washed and sun dried. Plant varieties include Cautuai, Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, and Pacas.

We hope that this strike will not last for long and hope that you will continue to support our business during these difficult days.  We appreciate your patience and understanding in these matters.
