Flavor description of Honduran Coffee beans introduction to the Grinding scale of varieties produced in Honduras

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 fruity in the taste.

In Honduras, coffee-producing areas are divided into six major areas, spread to the west and south, namely Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso (El Paraiso), Copan (Copan), La Paz (La Paz) and Comayagua (Olan Mound), with an average planting height of more than 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.

Rainforest Alliance RFA (Rainforest Alliance) certification refers to a farm that meets the standards set by the Rainforest Alliance, which protects the farm and its surrounding ecosystem, imposes some restrictions on the use of pesticides, and evaluates benchmarks such as waste management. Only coffee that has been evaluated and certified can be called "Rainforest Alliance certified coffee". Among them, the certification benchmark for coffee stipulates that traditional farming methods cultivated in the shade of primary forests are adopted, which are beneficial to the protection of the ecosystem. Some of the proceeds from the alliance are also used for the protection of wildlife in tropical rainforest animal reserves and the improvement of workers' lives.

The term "fine coffee" was first put forward by Ms. Knudsen of the United States in Coffee and Tea magazine. At that time, Ms. Knudsen, as a coffee buyer of B.C. Ireland in San Francisco, was very dissatisfied with the neglect of the quality of raw coffee in the industry, and even some big roasters mixed a large amount of Robesda beans in the comprehensive beans, so she put forward the concept of fine coffee to advocate the improvement of the quality of the industry. This term is used to describe coffee beans with distinctive flavor characteristics that grow in a special environment. And its use in international coffee conferences makes it spread rapidly.
