Honduran coffee comes from El Salvador. At first coffee production was in a state of unavoidable heat until the frost in Brazil in 1975. At that time, Brazil was badly hit and coffee production plummeted, while Honduras took the opportunity to "take the top". Coffee production soared from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags and was ransacked. It was only after that that coffee production in Honduras really developed. Honduras now ranks second in coffee exports in China and the United States (second only to Guatemala), and coffee is mainly exported to the United States and Germany.

What is there to miss about coffee in this turbulent country? Honduran coffee does not have very distinctive characteristics. Its biggest feature is that the overall taste is rich and well-balanced.

Medium or shallow acidity, giving the impression of obvious but not strong. Sometimes it has a beautiful floral or fruity aroma (generally speaking, beans produced in different regions and at different elevations have different performances). It is not at all associated with the unrest of the country. Bitterness and obvious sweetness. The overall taste of Honduran coffee is balanced, sour and bitter are not so strong, and there is a good balance between the two.
