What is there to miss about coffee in this turbulent country? Honduran coffee does not have very distinctive characteristics. Its biggest feature is that the overall taste is rich and well-balanced.

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 the two.

The extremely balanced nature of Honduran coffee makes it a wide range of uses. Can be used to mix coffee, can also be used as a single product to brew, mixed with Honduran coffee Italian concentrate will have a surprising effect. Although in troubled times, coffee can also grow its own wonderful, it is not difficult to understand why so many people are so obsessed with this black liquid, to some extent, this is not a simple love or habit, coffee is a mood or rely on it. I hope this country will show its vitality and splendor as coffee as soon as possible. Tumultuous Honduras will have a future as bright as Honduran coffee.

Flavor and taste characteristics: good flavor, rich and mellow, suitable for mixed drinking.

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.

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 of the Honduran coffee is exported to the United States and Germany.

Hongduras coffee bean particles are large in shape, uniform in size, uniform in color and glossy. 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 pick them all.

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 fruit in the taste.

Hongdulas coffee has a rich and mellow taste, taste is not astringent, not sour, mellow and aroma are very high, quite personality. 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.

Although it is now a backward and chaotic country, this small Central American country is also a region of Mayan civilization, with many relics of Mayan civilization and beautiful tropical seaside scenery. If it were not for such a turbulent situation, it will certainly become a tourist destination. Had it not been for such a turbulent situation, the coffee here would have been better.

Honduran coffee comes from El Salvador. At first coffee production was in a state of unavoidable heat 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. It was only after that that coffee production in Honduras really developed. Honduras now ranks second in coffee exports in China and the United States (second only to Guatemala), and coffee is mainly exported to the United States and Germany.
