A brief introduction to the treatment method of overall balanced Grinding degree and Baking degree of Santa Barara Coffee in Honduras

So there are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is the "Highland Coffee" grown at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 meters, and the other is the "selected Highland Coffee", which represents the highest level in Honduras, growing at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany.

Although there are no distinct characteristics of Honduran coffee, its biggest feature is its rich and balanced taste as a whole. 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. 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. Honduran coffee can be mixed with Italian concentrate, which will show a commendable flavor.

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 plain belongs to tropical rain forest climate.

Its Honduran coffee comes from El Salvador. Coffee production was lukewarm at first until the frost in Brazil in 1975. At that time, Brazil was badly hit and coffee production plummeted, while Honduras took the opportunity to "take the top". Coffee production soared from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags and was ransacked. Since then, coffee production in Honduras has really developed. 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 which are less than 3.5ha. 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. Honduras, which collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, is now one of the top 10 coffee exporters in the world. In Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major producing areas, spread all over the west and south, namely, Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso (El Paraiso), Copan (Koban), La Paz (Bazi) and Gongmaya (Comayagua) and Olan Qiu (Olancho). The average planting height is 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.
