Coffee began to be grown in Honduras in 1804, and now there are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations, all of which are small coffee farmers, who account for 60% of Hongguo's coffee production. Honduras overtook Guatemala in coffee production in 2011 and became the second largest exporter of washed Arabica beans in the world in 2012, after Brazil. It now ranks seventh in global production. 92% of coffee farmers in Honduras are small individuals, and their coffee-related workers account for 12.5% of the total population of 8 million, so coffee is a very important crop in Honduras.

There are six major coffee producing areas in Honduras, such as Copan, Opalaca, Montecillos, Comayagua, Agalta and El Paraico, with an average planting height of 1300 to 1500 meters above sea level. Coffee varieties are 100 per cent Arabica, 69 per cent are HG, 12 per cent are SHG and 19 per cent are CS. The main varieties of coffee are Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarchi and Lempira. Honduran coffee has always been of high quality, and its price is the most competitive in Central American countries. With mild acidity, the palate is full and slightly sweet.

Edwin Ventura Ventura has been growing coffee since 2013, when he entered the coffee world in the picturesque Concepcion del Sur area of Santa Barbara.

On his charming farm, Edwin owns a washing plant and a fermentor. There, he spent 10 to 12 hours dealing with the fresh coffee fruit, and then washed it clean. If the weather is special, he will dry with an African tanning bed for 8 to 10 days.

Because of this fine processing, we have been able to drink the intoxicating coffee of Honduras since the 2017 season. Excellent washing treatment unexpectedly has the taste of grape juice treated by sun / honey and the sweet and sour flavor of ripe cherries.
