<strong>Marcala</strong> is a municipality in Southwestern <strong>Honduras</strong>, near La Paz. The land is<br />

known particularly for its exceptional coffee, which has exceeded its reputation<br />

throughout the national and international coffee market. There are some<br />

registries of coffee producing farms from 1937-38. However, the<br />

modernization and intensification of production did not occur until the early<br />

1970s, which coincides with the arrival of German families to <strong>Marcala</strong>. To this<br />

day, coffee crops have become one of <strong>Marcala</strong>’s most precious patrimonies. To<br />

protect the prestige, the quality, and the namesake of coffee from this region,<br />

in 2005 a DOP (Protected Origin Denomination) was awarded to <strong>Café</strong> de<br />

<strong>Marcala</strong>, which was the first awarded to a Central American country.<br />

<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Coffee</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. 3306 Powell Street Emeryville, CA 94608, USA<br />
