Introduction of Origin, elevation level and Coffee Flavor characteristics of San Juan Theodor in Honduras

San Juan Theodore, Honduras

Honduras is located in the north of Central America, facing the Caribbean Sea to the north, the Gulf of Fonseca in the Pacific Ocean to the south, Nicaragua and El Salvador to the east and south, and Guatemala to the west, mostly mountains and plateaus. It has a tropical climate, mild temperature and abundant rainfall, so it is an ideal place for coffee growth. There are six major producing areas, mainly located in the west and south of Koban District (Copan), Obalaka District Opalaca), Mondesius (Montecillos), Gongma Agua (Comayagua), Akata (Agalta Tropical), Parasso (El Paraiso).

The average planting height of fine coffee is more than 1100 meters above sea level, which can be divided into three grades: Standard, 1000 meters; HG, 1000-1500 meters; and SHB, more than 1500 meters.

San Juan Ciudo is a small village in central Honduras, 40 kilometers northeast of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. The town is under the jurisdiction of Francisco Morz á n. The estate is located in the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park and has an independent rainforest ecosystem. Its climate and altitude are very conducive to the production of high-quality coffee beans, grown in the mountains at an altitude of 1450-1550 meters, and shaded by bananas, avocados, papaya and other fruit trees.

Pick by hand, and then pick out ripe fruit, which often takes several weeks to pick. The coffee beans are treated by water washing. The floating beans are first soaked and then peeled off by machine. Local farmers think that the larger the fruit is, the better the maturity is. The fruit is fermented for 10-12 hours, then washed with water, and finally dried in an African drying bed for 8 to 10 days, so there is always a light fruity flavor in its taste.

Flavor: obvious sweetness of caramel, roasted nuts, milk chocolate, full creamy texture, light spices and the end of oolong tea.
