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.

Until 1975, when Brazil was badly hit by the frost, coffee production plummeted, while Honduras took the opportunity to take advantage of the surge in coffee production from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags, and was looted. It was only after that that coffee production in Honduras really developed.

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.

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.

The flavor is quite good, rich and mellow, suitable for mixed drinking. Honduran coffee beans, the most obvious feeling is relatively soft and thick, occasionally a little sweet; low acidity, in the coffee producing areas of Central America, Honduran coffee is famous for its black berry flavor and caramel sweet, medium mellow thickness, and even black pepper and cut tobacco flavor in some batches of coffee.
