Country: Honduras

Producing area: San Juan Theodore

Treatment: washing

Because Honduras is located in the tropics, the temperature change in San Juan Theodore is small throughout the year. Therefore, the so-called winter is actually the rainy season, while the so-called summer is actually the dry season. In the tropics, altitude has a greater effect on temperature than the duration of precipitation in a year. San Juan Seto is located more than 1239 meters above sea level, making the temperature slightly cooler all the year round. In summer (March-June), the maximum temperature is usually about 26C, while the average minimum temperature is about 18C. The highest average temperature in winter is 20 ℃ and the lowest is about 14 ℃.

The modern economy of San Juan Seto is largely dependent on agriculture, most of which is small-scale coffee production, and its climate and altitude are very conducive to the production of high-quality coffee beans. COMISAJUL, a partnership of hundreds of small coffee growers in central Honduras, is located in San Juan Theto. COMISAJUL is a cooperative organized by hundreds of coffee farmers in the San Juan Heido region, where coffee is grown in mountains 1450-1550 meters above sea level and shaded by bananas, avocados, papayas and other fruit trees. Coffee farmers pick ripe fruits by hand during the harvest season, wash them and then dry them in the sun. The fermented water with coffee peel and pulp produced by water washing is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. This batch of coffee tastes very clean, high sweetness, very soft acidity, with the flavor of milk chocolate.

Variety: bourbon

Handlers: COMISAJUL Cooperation Organization

The town is under the jurisdiction of Francisco Morz á n, in addition, the jurisdiction of Francisco Morz á n includes Nuevo Rosario, Guacamaya and Plan Grande, with a total population of about 1400.

Although San Juan Theodore is historically famous for its mineral deposits, it is now highlighted by its location in the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park, a rainforest ecosystem and the first national park in Honduras. The park acts as a huge reservoir, providing domestic water for 500000 residents of the capital.

Flavor: clean, baked nuts, milk chocolate

In Honduras, coffee-producing areas are divided into six major areas, spread to the west and south, namely Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso (El Paraiso), Copan (Copan), La Paz (La Paz) and Comayagua (Olan Mound), with an average planting height of more than 1100 meters above sea level.

Later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, it is now one of the two most popular producers of Arabica coffee in the world. Bourbon coffee is usually produced between 3500 and 6500 feet above sea level.

Introduction:

Coffee was grown in Honduras in 1804 and now has 280000 hectares of coffee plantations.

All of them are mainly small coffee farmers, and the planting area of their coffee plantations is mostly less than 3.5 hectares.

Coffee farmers account for 60% of Hongguo's coffee production. Coffee production in Honduras in 2011

Surpassed Guatemala and became the second largest exporter of washed Arabica beans in the world in 2012.

Second only to Brazil. It now ranks seventh in global production. Coffee cultivation is not like a banana garden.

Owned by two large American consortia and oligarchs, 92% of Honduran coffee farmers are small individuals.

Coffee-related workers account for 12.5% of the total population of 8 million, so coffee is in Honduras.

Is a very important crop. In the coffee garden, coffee farmers harvest red fruit, wash it, ferment it and add it.

To grade according to the needs of the market to meet the needs of different tastes of consumers. Honduras

The largest coffee province in Honduras is the The Santa Barbara region, which is located in western Honduras.

Is in the northwest of Lake Yojoa, an area that has developed into Honduras in the past few years.

Famous coffee producing area. At the same time, this area comes from a famous agronomist Mr. Angel Arturo Paz

He owns a post-processing plant, St. Vincent's treatment Plant (San Vicente), in the western Yojoa Lake.

But the coffee produced in these areas has always been amazing with its high sweetness and fruity tonality.

World Cup Champion Flavor Description

Hazelnut, pine, apricot

Honduras has always been ranked among the top few in the fine coffee market, but Honduras has the advantages of natural environment, soil quality, altitude and climatic conditions. Neighboring Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua also have advanced coffee production. Honduras lacks infrastructure and has a low reputation in the consumer market. Hongguo is known for commercial beans, not fine beans. Even if the quality is good, there is no way to sell them at a good price. Many beans from Coban District and Santa Barbara producing areas are mixed into Guatemala beans, and they are sold at the price of Guatemala beans. For a long time, they have not realized their potential for planting fine coffee beans. The main problem is that coffee cherries are only slightly processed. When still wet, it is sold to the processing plant, which often causes the coffee cherries to be moldy and damaged before they are officially dried to a moisture content of only 12%. Such cherries pass through the drying process and become improperly dried defective beans. Since there is no price return for good quality, coffee farmers, processors and exporters have no incentive or incentive to increase the cost of developing coffee growing potential, so honduran coffee beans end up as recognized mild blends rather than beans from a single origin or unique farm-a vicious circle.

But now, with the help of USAID and Fintrac and several cooperatives such as La Central, they are trying to promote and educate farmers in Honduras to produce good coffee, and then properly process the final coffee flavor to the extreme. With Fair Trade funding to build processing equipment and increase the expertise of coffee farmers, Honduran coffee has gradually bottomed out and become the emerging Central American coffee in the past one or two years.

Honduras, like other producing countries, is very diverse. I can't cover all of them in one word. The largest producing area is Santa Barbara Santa Barbara. There are also other producing areas such as Copan Coban, Ocotepeque, Lempira Lempira, La Paz Buzz, and El Paraiso in the south. The planting height is 1500 meters- 2000 meters above sea level. Grown primarily with Very High Altitude Beans (SHG) roughly the Honduran coffee we recently tested has a low acidity and high sweetness with a distinct caramel flavor, making it an excellent choice for espresso formula beans.

Population: 8,250,000

Although it is not described by HCAFE as a coffee-growing region, many roaster-labeled coffees come from within the Santa Barbara region of Honduras, and several coffee regions cross into Santa Barbara (a state government utility). Some would argue that it needs its own description, but it seems more appropriate to list cultivation areas according to official principles. There are also some excellent Pacas batches from Santa Barbara, in good condition, with a unique and fruity flavor that is definitely worth pursuing.

COPAN

Copan is located in Copan City in western Honduras, the most famous of which is the local Maya site. Areas like this one, which borders Guatemala, remind me of the actual origin of coffee, not the country of production. The practical country classification is somewhat arbitrary, since consumers have difficulty (unfortunately) distinguishing between coffee beans from Honduras and those from Guatemala. Copan is located north of Santa Barbara Coffee.

El Matazano, located between La Paz and Makala, owned by Francisco Antonio Castillo David

Frances could cultivate coffee in 1995 and work with four families on planting and post-treatment issues. In the past two years, the severe leaf rust disease has reduced production by 50%. We have to work harder to prevent disease and control quality.

This year Madasano maintained the tradition of excellence and won the Cup of Excellence. Francis said that Honduras 'bean level was very good. It was difficult to enter the international judging stage and win. Thanks to the close cooperation of 4 family members, we finally won the prize again!

Osher is bidding for the same batch of beans, only 15 bags, we can promise francis, as long as the same level, we are willing to purchase for a long time!
