Front Street-introduction to Honduran Coffee

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.

Honduras produces two kinds of coffee of very good quality, which are highly respected by coffee lovers. One is "Highland Coffee", which grows at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is "selected Highland Coffee", which represents the highest level of Honduras, which grows at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters. Most of the Honduran coffee is exported to the United States and Germany.

Coffee bean granules are large in shape, uniform in size, uniform in color and glossy. 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.

Honduras coffee can be divided into six major producing areas, mainly located in the western and southern regions of Copan, Opalaca, Montecillos, Comayagua, Agalta Tropical and El Paraiso. The average height of high-quality products is more than 1100 meters above sea level. 69% of the coffee grown in these areas is HG, and 12% is SHG,19% and CS.

Most of the coffee varieties grown in Honduras are Arabica, mainly derived from Bourbon Bourbon, Kaddura Caturra, Kaduai Catuai, Iron pickup Typica and Pacas Pacas.

Coffee beans from Honduras are large in shape, uniform in size and glossy in color. Kaddura, native to Brazil, is a variety of bourbon. Kaduai seed-originated in Brazil. It is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra. The shape of the fruit is similar to that of bourbon, but the yield per plant is higher and the flavor is well acidic.

Knowledge: Honduras has a tropical climate and the coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate. The annual average temperature is 23 ℃; the rainfall is abundant, and the annual precipitation in the northern coastal zone and mountain windward slope is as high as 3000 mm. It is the origin of coffee with superior natural conditions.
