Last Updated: 2025/08/21, There are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is the highland coffee grown at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is the selected highland coffee growing at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters, which represents the highest level in Honduras. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany. Although Honduran coffee does not have very distinct characteristics, it has a better overall taste.

There are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is "Highland Coffee", which grows at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is "Special Highland Coffee", which represents the highest level of Honduras, which is grown at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany.

Although there are no distinct characteristics of Honduran coffee, its biggest feature is its rich and balanced taste as a whole. In detail, it has a medium or shallow acidity, which is obvious but not strong. Sometimes with a slight floral or fruity aroma (generally speaking, different producing areas, different elevations of beans have different flavor performance) slightly bitter and obvious sweet. The overall taste of Honduras is balanced, sour and bitter are not strong, and the balance between the two is better. Therefore, the extremely balanced nature of Honduran coffee makes it widely used. Can be used to mix coffee, can also be used as a single product to brew, with Honduran coffee mixed with Italian concentration will have a more admirable flavor display.

The display of this quality is due to the fact that the granules of Honduran coffee beans are large in shape, uniform in size and uniform 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 red fruits. For coffee fruits of the same branch, it often takes several weeks to pick them all.

And high-quality coffee in Honduras uses water washing to deal with coffee beans, usually after soaking, when soaking, the defective fruit will surface and 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.
