Honduras is located in the north of Central America, the Caribbean Sea in the north, the Thessica Island in the Pacific Ocean in the south, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka in the south, and dangerous places in the west, mostly mountains and plateaus. There are 280,000 square meters of coffee bars in Honduras, mainly small coffee bars, most of which are less than 3.50 square meters. These coffee plants account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras.

In coffee bars, people pick coffee beans by hand because they are planted in mountain areas, and then process them carefully in order to produce more expensive coffee beans. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year and provides you with a wide range of coffee, and has become one of the top ten coffee exporters in the world.

The area corresponding to the valley is dedicated to growing basic grains and livestock. He gets his name: according to Mr. AlbertoMembre?o 's "indigenous place name", Masaguara means "place with deer".

Varieties (Kaddura, Kaduai, Pacas)

Kaddura, a natural species of bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its body is not as tall and shorter as bourbon. Due to the blood system of bourbon, the resistance is weaker, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon. It is naturally found in Brazil, but Kaddura is not always born in Brazil, so it is not planted on a large scale in Brazil, but is popular in Central and South America, such as Costa Rica, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Kaduai is a kind of coffee bred artificially by Kaddura and Mondu Novo. Kaduai has a better ability to resist natural disasters, especially rain resistance. Compared with other coffee bars, the fruit of Kaduai is more solid, not easy to pick, and has both color and color.

Pacas is a natural species of bourbon. Like other widely planted low-wave strains, Pacas is a single gene mutation. It is low, mainly because the coffee is small, has high and low yield, and can be mixed with other fruits and other plants to increase the yield of coffee peaches.

The species was found in 1949 on a farm of the Pacas family in the Santa Ana region of Valdor. In 1960, the Tuvaldo Coffee Institute (ISIC) launched a system selection program for Parkas (also known as individual plant selection through continuous selection). It is more popular in Central America and is widely planted in Africa, accounting for about 25% of its output. In 1974, the Honduran Coffee Institute introduced this variety and planted it in Honduras.

Processing method

Fine washing whisky Shirley barrel fermentation treatment is that the fresh picked coffee fruit is first carefully washed, then put into the whisky oak barrel ripe into sherry and fermented for 30-40 days (about 15-20 ℃), and then dried and dried.

"Shirley barrel" is a barrel used for years by Sherry in the whisky industry. Sherry is a famous fortified wine produced in the shining Jerez region of southern Spain. Sherry must be ripened through the Solera system (Solera System) during the manufacturing process.

Solera system originally refers to the process of mixing sherry of different years after sherry is reinforced. In the Solera system, all barrels are aged according to vintage, with the oldest sherry at the bottom and the most aged sherry at the top. Every year, part of the wine is extracted from the bottom barrel to bottle and sell, and then the appropriate proportion is extracted from the last barrel to refill, which is the unique feature of sherry.
