What is the specific flavor of Honduras?

[Honduras Sweet Orange Manor]

Honduras is located in central Central America, bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, Guatemala to the west, El Salvador to the southwest and Nicaragua to the southeast. It covers an area of 112492 square kilometers and the coastline is about 1033 kilometers long. The whole territory, except the coastal plain, is mountainous, with the highest elevation of 3000 meters in the northwest and more than 2400 meters in the south. The main rivers in the territory are the Koko River, the Patuca River and the Wulu River. Rivers from inland mountains crisscross and flow into the two oceans. Many basins and river valleys are formed between the various mountain ranges. The larger basins are the Siria and Rapagu Alai basins, and the main river valleys are the Komayagua and Hamastland River valleys.

The whole country can be divided into four natural geographical areas: the eastern low area, the northern coastal alluvial plain area, the central high area and the Pacific coastal low area. Coastal islands are dotted with the main islands being the Baya Islands and the Tigris Islands in the Gulf of Fonseca. The terrain of Honduras is complex and the climate is diversified. Located in the coastal plain of Central America, it has a tropical rain forest climate, with an average annual temperature of 31 ℃. The mountain belongs to subtropical forest climate, the annual average temperature is 23 ℃, and the rainy season is from June to November.

For coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, mainly small coffee plantations, most of which are less than 3.5ha. These coffee plantations account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras. In the coffee garden, because the planting area belongs to the mountain area, people pick coffee beans by hand, and then process them carefully in order to produce better quality coffee beans. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year and provides you with multi-quality coffee. It has become one of the top ten coffee exporters in the world.

Kaduai is very popular with farmers, with high yield, similar to Kaddura, short plants, suitable for intensive planting, and good resistance to natural disasters, especially wind and rain. It inherits the advantages of Kaddura's low tree stature and changes Mondonwood's shortcomings; another advantage is that the results are solid and are not easy to fall off when the strong wind blows, which makes up for the weakness of Arabica fruit. After its official release in the 1970s, it was extended to Central American countries, widely cultivated in Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Brazil of origin. Simply considering the flavor, under the appropriate local conditions and treatment, Kaduai can have a quite wonderful flavor.
