A brief introduction to the coffee flavor and taste of the rich and well-balanced Santa Barara Manor in Honduras

Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year and provides you with multi-quality coffee. Now it has become one of the top ten coffee exporters in the world. Although Honduran coffee does not have very distinct characteristics, its greatest feature is its rich and balanced taste. In detail, it has a medium or shallow acidity, which is obvious but not strong. Sometimes with a slight floral or fruity aroma (generally speaking, different producing areas, different elevations of beans have different flavor performance) slightly bitter and obvious sweet.

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 has occupied eastern Honduras and the Baya Islands, built railways and obtained the concession of large tracts of land. 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. Some areas will have "fish rain" from May to July, because tornadoes form tornadoes on part of the sea in Honduras between May and July. Tornadoes roll fish into the sky and throw them into parts of the country. The Honduran flag was launched on January 18, 1949. The flag is rectangular with an aspect ratio of 2:1. From top to bottom, the flag consists of three parallel rectangles: blue, white and blue. There are five blue five-pointed stars in the middle of the white rectangle. The color of the national flag comes from the color of the original Central American federal flag. The upper and lower blue wide stripes symbolize the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean respectively; white symbolizes the pursuit of peace; and the five five-pointed stars were added in 1866, expressing the desire of the five countries that make up the Central American Federation to unite again.

Honduras is a mountainous country in Central and North America, with a population of more than 8.3 million and an area of 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. More than 3/4 of the territory are mountains and plateaus. Mountains extend from west to east, inland for lava plateaus, multi-mountain valleys, coastal plains. Tropical climate, coastal plains belong to tropical rain forest climate for coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, mainly small coffee plantations. Most of the coffee plantations are less than 3.5ha, and these coffee plantations account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras.

In the coffee garden, because the planting area belongs to the mountain area, people pick coffee beans by hand, and then process them carefully in order to produce better quality coffee beans. The overall taste of Honduras is balanced, sour and bitter are not strong, and the balance between the two is better. Therefore, the extremely balanced nature of Honduran coffee makes it widely used. It can not only be used to mix coffee, but also can be brewed as a single product. Espresso made with Honduran coffee will have a commendable flavor to show this quality, because the granules of Honduran coffee beans are larger in shape and uniform in 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.
