Honduras declared its independence on September 15, 1821, but was incorporated into the first Mexican Empire in 1822. He joined the Central American Union in 1823 and withdrew from the Central American Union in October 1838 to establish a republic. In 1840, with the support of Guatemalan dictator Rafael Carrera, conservative Francisco Ferreira established a dictatorship. After 1853, liberals and conservatives in Honduras often had coups and civil wars, and the regime changed frequently. The gold and silver mining industry has been damaged, which has greatly affected the economic development. Since the 1840s, Britain occupied eastern Honduras and the Baya Islands, built railways and obtained the concession of large tracts of land.

From its independence in 1821 to 1978, Honduras has had 139 coups, making it one of the countries with the most frequent coups in Latin America. Ramon Villeda Morales of the Liberal Party won the 1957 general election as president. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano, commander of the armed forces, launched a coup instigated by the United States in 1963, overthrew the Morales regime, and was elected president in 1965. Ramon Ernesto Cruise of the Kuomintang won the election in 1971, but soon after taking office, Arellano staged another coup. In 1975 Juan Alberto Melgar Castro, commander of the armed forces, staged a coup to replace Arellano. In 1978, Policarpo Pasgarcia, commander of the armed forces, launched a coup and formed a military commission headed by him. [2]

The land area of Honduras is about 112000 square kilometers. Located in the north of Central America. It is bordered by 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. [2]

Topography

More than 3/4 of the territory are mountains and plateaus. Mountains extend from west to east, inland for lava plateaus, many mountain valleys, coastal plains. [2]

Climate

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. There will be "fish rain" in some areas from May to July, because tornadoes form on part of the sea surface of Honduras from May to July. Tornadoes roll the fish in the sea to the sky and throw it into some areas, which becomes fish rain.

In the Pokuit producing area, there are also many excellent manors, except the famous Emerald Manor, Alida Manor, Aqaba Manor and so on, all of which produce high-quality boutique coffee. This is not only due to the superior ecological conditions of the Pokuit region of Panama and the fertile volcanic ash soil of the Baru volcanic land. Another important factor is that the microclimate in the Poquet Heights of Panama is a unique and important resource for boutique coffee in the Pokuit region. This is the Panamanian environment from east to west that allows cold air to converge above 6500 feet through the Central Mountains, thus creating a variety of microclimates in the Pokuit region, making its temperature and rainfall very suitable for plant growth. so the coffee trees grown here grow very well.

In Poquet's unique planting environment, there is naturally not only the rose summer of emerald, the king of coffee, regardless of flavor, quality and value, but I think it is quite extravagant to drink rose summer every day, and even if there is no economic pressure, it is not like eating shark's fin and bear's paw every day. The same is true of coffee. You need to dabble widely in order to enjoy the pleasure of tasting coffee. Panama's geographical advantage is that it has many distinctive microclimate areas suitable for coffee cultivation, and Panama also has many persistent and professional coffee growers. This means there will be a lot of very good coffee in Panama, but these coffees are often associated with high prices.

The high price of coffee in Panama is mainly caused by the following factors:

Land price: for the people of North America, they very much want to buy a stable and beautiful land at a low price. Panama is such a place;

More farmers in Panama grow coffee for export in the name of manors to emphasize their own manors;

Panamanian labor law has higher requirements for labor employment, so the coffee industry has to pay higher wages, which has to be paid by consumers.

Esmeralda Manor

When it comes to coffee prices, we should pay great attention to a manor in Panama, and it can even be said that so far, no other single estate has had such an impact on coffee farming in Central America. This is Esmeralda Manor, which belongs to and is run by the Peterson family. Geisha is a very rare coffee variety, which has caused a sensation among coffee connoisseurs all over the world for more than 5 years. It is considered to be the brightest, richest and most strongly fragrant coffee variety. Before it won its international reputation, Rosa was first brought to Costa Rica by Don Pachi from the town of GESHA in southwestern Ethiopia, and then from the southern route into Panama, for which we thank him. These coffee trees grow at very high elevations and have beautiful slender leaves. Its fruits and raw beans are also slightly slender compared to other top-quality high-altitude coffee. Rose is full of sweetness and cleanliness on the palate, with rich aromas ranging from berry and citrus to mango, papaya and peach. A very obvious lemon (bergamot) general aftertaste is also a typical cup test attribute. So far, Rose Summer has been the champion of coffee varieties.
