Qianjie-brief introduction to the flavor of Honduran coffee

There are six main coffee producing areas in Honduras, including the five regions next to each other in the West, Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), Copan (Copan), Ocotepeque, Lempira and La Paz, as well as El Paraiso in the southeast. Honduran coffee tastes less acidic, while caramel is more sweet.

The taste of coffee in six different producing areas is also slightly different, some slightly sour, some have a unique flavor. As it is still in the process of promoting its popularity, although the quality of coffee in Honduras is good, its price is still quite competitive. Considering the unique flavor of Honduran coffee, it is a good choice to use it as a single product or to add mixed coffee and espresso (Espresso).

-Flavor characteristics-

The granules of coffee beans in Honduras are large in shape, uniform in size and glossy in color. In order to facilitate harvesting, farmers will prune the coffee trees to no more than 150 centimeters, because if they grow too high, they have to set up ladders to pick, which is not only time-consuming, but also may damage the trees by bending branches. As the ripening period of each fruit of coffee beans is different, in order to maintain the good quality of coffee beans, it is necessary to pick them manually, and then select the ripe fruits. For coffee fruits of the same branch, it often takes several weeks to pick them all.

High-quality coffee in Honduras uses water washing to deal with coffee beans, usually after soaking, when the defective fruit will surface, it can be discarded first. Then put the good fruit into the fruit peeling machine and peel off the peel with the rotating force of the machine. Peeled fruits are screened by machines to select fruits of high quality. Usually the bigger the fruit, the better the maturity. Coffee in Honduras is dried in the sun, so there is always a hint of fruit in the taste.

Water washing is the most widely used treatment method at present, which is different from the sun method in that the pectin layer is removed by fermentation.

Advantages:

1. All the processing procedures are indoor, which can reduce the impurities of coffee and beans to the lowest and the highest quality.

2. Because the flesh is removed from the beginning, there is no need to worry about the moldy coffee beans.

3. The appearance is complete and the sale is excellent.

4. Due to the fermentation, the coffee has bright acidity and fruity aroma.

Knowledge: bourbon originates from the natural variation of iron pickup, which is another ancient coffee variety in addition to iron pickup.
