In Honduras, coffee-producing areas are divided into six major producing areas, spread to the west and south, namely Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso (El Paraiso), Copan (Copan), La Paz (La Paz), Gongmayagua (Comayagua) and Olanqiu (Olancho), with an average height of over 1100 meters above sea level. Coffee varieties are Arabica, 69% are HG "High and low Coffee", 12% are SHG "Special Highland Coffee" and 19% are CS. There are mainly Typic, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarch and Lempira.

So there are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is "Highland Coffee" growing at an altitude of 1000-1500 meters, and the other is "selected Highland Coffee" growing at an altitude of 1500-2000 meters, which represents the highest level of "selected Highland Coffee" in Honduras. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany to demonstrate this quality, because the granules of Honduran coffee beans are larger and the same size. The color is uniform and shiny. 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 fruity in the taste.

Honduran coffee can lead to multiple levels of flavor depending on the degree of roasting. Moderate baking can maximize the sweetness of beans, while deep baking increases bitterness, but sweetness does not disappear. Generally speaking, medium roasting has the best taste and rich and unique aroma, which is favored by coffee lovers in Honduras.

At present, although Honduras is now a backward and chaotic country, this small Central American country is also one of the birthplaces of Mayan civilization, with many relics of Mayan civilization and beautiful tropical seaside scenery. if it were not for such a turbulent situation, it would certainly become a tourist destination; if it were not for such a turbulent situation, the coffee here would be better.
