Honduran coffee seems strange to many coffee drinkers. For coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. However, in the past, Honduras was less well-known in the consumer market because it did not have strong support in the handling and transportation of raw beans. However, in recent years, Honduras has begun to change dramatically, and the emphasis on the coffee industry has slowly opened up the international popularity of Honduran coffee. There are six main coffee producing areas in Honduras, including Santa Barbara, Copan,Ocotepeque, Lempira, La Paz and El Paraiso in the southeast, which are adjacent to each other in the west.

The taste of coffee from these five different producing areas is also slightly different, some slightly sour, some have a unique flavor. At present, its quality is not poor, but because it is still promoting its popularity, Hongguo's coffee prices are actually quite competitive at present. Because of its flavor characteristics, it is a good choice to make a single product or add comprehensive coffee, or even one of the beans with Espresso ingredients.
