Introducing our Honduras Organic Coffee. This coffee is direct-sourced, certified organic, Fair Trade certified, and dried and stored at a state-of-the-art facility in Honduras before it is shipped to SonRise Coffee to be micro-batch roasted fresh and delivered to you for that perfect cup of coffee.
A part of our vision for sourcing, roasting, and selling coffee is to provide local coffee farmers an opportunity to thrive and run a successful business. That is why we’ve chosen to source our Honduras organic coffee directly from a farm, or Finca, in the mountains of Honduras. When you are looking for the best organic coffee you can find, single-origin, fair-trade organic coffee is the way to go!
Who is Growing Our Honduras Coffee?
Our Honduras organic coffee is sourced directly from a farm, or Finca owned and operated by Hidardo Hernández, an enthusiastic and hard-working fourth-generation coffee farmer. He and his fiance own a specialty coffee shop in the town of Santa Rosa de Copán, where they serve single-origin coffee.
“Although I currently work in various positions, my entire life is built around coffee.“
Hidardo Hernández
Hidardo Hernández is the initiator of a cooperation called Cafés Especiales Mercedes Ocotepeque (Cafesmo). He develops various aspects of the organization, collaborating with 250+ other local coffee farmers in Honduras.
Farm facts:
- Our coffee is FTO-certified, and we have offered micro-lots since 2015.
- The farm is Rain Forest Alliance Certified.
- 8+ acres between 1230 feet and 1300 feet above sea level.
- Trees like banana trees, walnut trees, hazel pine, and such are planted to generate sufficient shadow on all parts of the plantation.
- We work with several varieties of coffee, like Bourbon, Parainema, and Obata to be able to offer a wide range of micro-lots and something suitable for each palette.
What is Cafesmo?
With a motto of diversity and quality, Cafesmo is a Fair Trade and Organic labeled organization that provides an ever-expanding array of specialty coffee profiles. Cafesmo allows Hernández and his family to connect with roasters around the world, like SonRise Coffee and others, and greatly expand their market while still maintaining the traceability of the coffee and managing the quality, flavor profiles, and more.

What Is Fair Trade Coffee?
Fair Trade-certified coffee simply means that the product has been tracked and reviewed throughout the entire supply chain to ensure that the coffee farmer and others in the supply chain have been fairly paid for their labor and product and that the proper sustainability standards were followed. The Fair Trade certificate allows the roaster or consumer to trace where their coffee coming from and support local communities in the process.
What Is Organic Coffee?
Our new Honduras coffee is not only Fair Trade certified but also an Organic product with an organic certificate. Unfortunately, coffee is one of the most sprayed and fertilized products on our market today. This is just one reason to choose a trusted organic coffee for your morning routine. We have a blog post that explains a bit more about organic coffee and why it’s better.
