Introduction to the origin, characteristics and cultural treatment of coffee beans in Honduras

There are six main coffee producing areas in Honduras, including Santa Barbara, Copan, Ocotepeque, Lempira, La Paz and El Paraiso in the southeast. Honduran coffee tastes less acidic, while caramel is more sweet.

The taste of coffee from these five different producing areas is also slightly different, some slightly sour, some have a unique flavor. Its quality is not bad at present, but because it is still promoting its popularity, the price of coffee in the country is actually quite competitive.

Because of its flavor characteristics, it is a good choice to make a single product or add mixed coffee, or even one of the beans with Espresso ingredients. Honduran coffee seems a little strange to many coffee drinkers.

When it comes to coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua.

However, in the past, Honduras was less well-known in the consumer market because it did not have strong support in the handling and transportation of raw beans. However, in recent years, the country has begun to change dramatically, and the emphasis on the coffee industry has slowly opened up the international popularity of coffee from Honduras. Overall, Honduran coffee has a good reputation and is suitable for mixed coffee. Coffee in Honduras is imported from El Salvador. Honduras produces high-acid high-quality coffee. Like other places, the coffee grade in Honduras depends on altitude: coffee grown at 700 to 1000 meters above sea level is medium, coffee grown at 1000 to 1500 meters above sea level is superior, and coffee grown at 1500 to 2000 meters above sea level is superior.

After the frost in Brazil in 1975, coffee production in Honduras increased significantly, from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags in 20 years. Coffee rust (Rust) is a great harm to coffee in the country, especially in the eastern part of the country, where rust is more serious, and drug sprays used to treat this disease have played an important role in increasing coffee production.

All coffee in Honduras is exported by individual transporters, mostly to the United States and Germany.
