Event Details

Boot Coffee is very excited about Honduras.  We've witnessed amazing strides in quality in just the last few years.  Honduras is the up-and-coming coffee origin in Latin America.  This is your chance to get ahead of the curve and develop some lasting relationships in beautiful Honduras. 

The class meets in San Pedro Sula, where we will spend a day learning advanced cupping skills and seeing how the up-and-coming coffee scientists of Honduras manage quality control.

From there we will drive to the highlands of La Fe, spending two days of intensive, hands-on coffee instruction.  Mornings you will receive expert coffee instruction, from seed to cup, from our instructors and our expert guest speakers.  In the afternoon we will be visiting some of the idyllic local coffee farms to look at coffee trees and discuss harvesting, farming and the true story of coffee cultivation.  

The last part of the course will take place in and around Santa Rosa de Copán, one of the loveliest towns in all of Central America, and home to the very best coffee in Honduras.  We’ll have more opportunities for hands-on learning and expert guest visits from the people who know coffee best.¿¿Logistics¿At all stops along the way, we provide you with comfortable loding and good, simple food.  All transportation within the country is handled by us.  We will be traveling by SUV from one location to the next.  Your instructors are bilingual, fluent in both Spanish and English. So if you speak a little Spanish, that’s great, but if not, don’t worry!  All our instruction will be handled in English, and we will help you with any local interactions.  

All-in course fee: $1995. This includes 5 days of intensive coffee education, 5 days of lodging and meals, and local transportation are all covered in the cost of the course.

Included: Lodging, meals, transport in coffee region.
Each participant is responsible to his or her own airfare to San Pedro Sula.  The San Pedro Sula airport is a major hub, and there are direct flights from the US to San Pedro.  Or you may choose to fly through another hub in Central America.  Participants should typically choose to arrive the day before the official beginning of the course.  We will get you set up at your hotel for the night.  

We will meet you at the airport in San Pedro Sula and take care of you from there on out.  At the end of the course, we will take you back to the airport at San Pedro in plenty of time for your outgoing flight.
