As a matter of fact, Honduras Coffee did not go so smoothly from the very beginning. Compared with other Central American countries such as Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua, the development of coffee can be said to be very late.

The main reason for this is that the coffee industry in Honduras has not been started for a long time because of the lack of transportation construction linking the producing area to the port in Honduras. However, after 1970s, the government set up an official organization for coffee: Instituto Hondure?o del Cafe (IHCAFE), which is dedicated to improving the quality of coffee, and coffee trees can be planted all over Honduras. The coffee production of Honduras surpassed that of Costa Rica and Guatemala in 2011! Below, I would like to recommend a Honduran coffee.

Honduras. Orchids. Washing treatment

Honduras La Orquidea Washed

Country of origin: Honduras

Production area: El Cedral, Santa Barbara

Producer: Benjamin Paz & Miguel Moreno

Variety: Pacas

Treatment: Full Washed

Altitude: 1520-1610 masl

Baking degree: Very Light (Cinnamon Roast)

Flavor description: orange peel, brown sugar, almond chocolate, balanced round, silky sweetness.

Perhaps we seldom hear the name of Honduras in coffee life, but as long as you drink it, you will be stuck in it. Even the bean baker Tim Wendelboe is a supporter of Honduran coffee.

Honduras is located in a high-altitude volcano. In recent years, improved planting and treatment have made the country one of the highest production of coffee beans in Central America, even surpassing that of Guatemala. Honduran coffee has soft low acidity and high fruit aroma, cocoa, roasted drupe, good sweetness to drink to balance and smooth.

This coffee comes from La Orquidea, a very special farm in Santa Barbara, Honduras, which means "orchid" in Spanish. The farm is a partnership between Miguel Moreno and Benjamin Paz. The Moreno family has been famous since the previous generation, and Miguel Moreno is the oldest of the family that has always produced Honduras's leading coffee, and is the director of El Filo, a farm that has been trading coffee for the past decade. Benjamin Paz's family runs an export company and the St. Vincent washing and processing plant known for its best quality, and Benjamin Paz has followed suit in growing coffee.

Miguel Moreno and Benjamin Paz bought La Orquidea Farm together in 2014, about 1520-1610 masl above sea level, and right next to Miguel Moreno's farm El Filo, they planted 9000 coffee trees, about 7000 Pacas and 2000 Catuai species, and this coffee is their first harvest and can be expected to be delicious.

Quartet Kaffe has previously launched Miguel Moreno water-washed coffee, which is rich and round, and is very popular with the flavor of almond chocolate spindle, so we believe that this launch of coffee jointly produced by the best coffee producers in Honduras and the best coffee processing places will certainly produce a very beautiful spark.
