Last Updated: 2024/11/10, Since then, coffee production in Honduras has really developed. In Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major producing areas, spread all over the west and south, namely, Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), Perry (El Paraiso), Copan (Copan), La Paz (Bazi), Gongmayagua (Comayagua) and Olanqiu (Olancho).

Since then, coffee production in Honduras has really developed. 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 (Bazi) and Comayagua (Olan Mu), 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.

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. Can be used to mix coffee, can also be used as a single product to brew, with Honduran coffee mixed with Italian concentration will have a more admirable flavor display.

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 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 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.

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.

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 wonderful as Honduran coffee.

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.
