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. Coffee varieties are Arabica, 69% are HG "High and low Coffee", 12% are SHG "Special Highland Coffee" and 19% are CS. There are mainly Typic, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarch and Lempira.

So there are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is the "Highland Coffee" grown at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is the "selected Highland Coffee", which represents the highest level in Honduras, growing at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany.

Although there are no distinct characteristics of Honduran coffee, its biggest feature is its rich and balanced taste as a whole. In detail, it has a medium or shallow acidity, which is obvious but not strong. Sometimes with a slight floral or fruity aroma (generally speaking, different producing areas, different elevations of beans have different flavor performance) slightly bitter and obvious sweet. The overall taste of Honduras is balanced, sour and bitter are not strong, and the balance between the two is better. Therefore, the extremely balanced nature of Honduran coffee makes it widely used. Can be used to mix coffee, can also be used as a single product to brew, with Honduran coffee mixed with Italian concentration will have a more admirable flavor display.

The quality of coffee in Honduras spans a huge range, from a low-cost Central American blender to high-cost batches, comparable to dangerous coffee with acidity and flavor. High quality coffee can be produced in areas such as Marcala,Copan and Santa Barbara,Ocotopeque. Honduras is one of the few productive countries, and countries such as Costa Rica and Panama are experiencing other demand for land pressure, harvesting less and less coffee. Honduran coffee can be made from bright, acidic aroma, light and sucrose sweetness, more caramel, lower acidity coffee, in espresso is good.
