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.

Best of Honduras Late Harvest is organized by 2015 WBC world champion Sasa Sestic and his raw bean team Project Origin. Last year, 2018 was the second year, and Boulder participated in this evaluation and bidding for the second year in a row. The purpose of this bid is, of course, to encourage farmers to produce high-quality coffee, and because the altitude of planting in Honduras varies greatly, from 1200 meters to 1700 meters. For example, in Santa Barbara producing areas, due to the higher terrain, the berry ripening period is relatively late. Most Hongguo coffee production season is from January to April every year, while the harvest time of these high-altitude small farmers may be delayed to June or July. Missing the opportunity to participate in the annual Cup of Excellence Excellence Cup competition, Best of Honduras provides these late-harvested farmers with another opportunity to stand out in the boutique market and enable international buyers to interact directly with farmers face to face.

The COE scoring standard, which is more commonly used in Central America, is first tested by local professional evaluation cups of Hongguo to screen out fine coffee with more than 85 points, and then by judges from all over the world for a total of three rounds of cup tests, selecting the top 20 for online bidding by international buyers. Apart from a very small part of the bid money that needs to be paid to the IHCAFE (Instituto Hondure?o del Caf é, IHCAFE) of the Honduras Coffee Association for local transportation infrastructure, research and development expenses, and so on, small farmers can almost get the bid money in full. Compared with the market prices sold directly to local exporters, it is nothing more than the most direct income and help for farmers. I recall that on the day of the award ceremony, the top 20 farmers were invited to the Santa Barbara IHCAFE office to receive the prize. not all the award-winning farmers came from nearby producing areas, and some farmers even drove for hours, so they could feel the importance they attached to the competition.

Paraideli Manor, owned by Oscar Daniel Ramirez Chavez, is the 2017 COE Champion Manor.

The son of the landlord usually works mainly to take care of his own manor, and in his spare time he will go to his father's manor to help. The name of the manor comes from the words Parainama and Delicioso, which means delicious Palayinema coffee, which is quite straightforward and has a delicate acid value when tested in the competition cup, with charming aromas of jasmine and bergamot.
