Introduction to the flavor description and treatment of high-quality coffee beans in Honduras

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 committee headed by him.

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.

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. At present, its quality is not poor, but because it is still promoting its popularity, the price of coffee in the country is actually quite competitive.

Hongduras coffee bean particles are large in shape, uniform in size, uniform in color and glossy. 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.
