Introduction to the grinding scale of the quality characteristics of Honduran coffee flavor description

Honduras is located in the north of Central America, facing 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, mostly mountains and plateaus. It has a tropical climate, mild temperature and abundant rainfall, so it is an ideal place for coffee growth.

Medium or shallow acidity, giving the impression of obvious but not strong. Sometimes it has a beautiful floral or fruity aroma (generally speaking, beans produced in different regions and at different elevations have different performances). It is not at all associated with the unrest of the country. Bitterness and obvious sweetness. The overall taste of Honduran coffee is balanced, sour and bitter are not so strong, and there is a good balance between them.

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 larger the fruit is, the better the maturity is. The granules of Honduran coffee beans are larger, uniform in size and shiny 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 fruits. For coffee fruits of the same branch, it often takes several weeks to harvest them all. Honduras produces two kinds of coffee of very good quality, which are highly respected by coffee lovers. One is "Highland Coffee", which grows at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is "selected Highland Coffee", which represents the highest level of Honduras, which grows at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters. Most Honduran coffee is exported to the United States and Germany.
