Description of flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of high-quality coffee beans in San Juan, Honduras

There are six main coffee producing areas in Honduras, including Santa Barbara, Copan, Ocotepeque, Lempira, La Paz and El Paraiso in the southeast. Honduran coffee tastes less acidic, while caramel is more sweet.

The taste of coffee from these five different producing areas is also slightly different, some slightly sour, some have a unique flavor. At present, its quality is not poor, but because it is still promoting its popularity, the price of coffee in the country is actually quite competitive.

The granules of coffee beans in Honduras are large in shape, uniform in size and glossy in color. In order to facilitate harvesting, farmers will trim 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.

Honduran coffee seems strange to many coffee drinkers.

When it comes to coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua.

However, in the past, Honduras was less well-known in the consumer market because it did not have strong support in the handling and transportation of raw beans. However, in recent years, the country has begun to change dramatically, and the emphasis on the coffee industry has slowly opened up the international popularity of coffee from Honduras.

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.

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. Its use in international coffee conferences makes it spread rapidly.

In fact, according to Ms. Knudsen, people started drinking fine coffee, but later, due to the growing demand for coffee, the discovery and use of new coffee varieties led to the decline of coffee quality. later, people even began to dislike this bad coffee and began to turn to other drinks. In this case, Ms. Knudsen re-made people realize the value of boutique coffee, which led to a boutique coffee boom. In the United States, there are enterprises and stores in pursuit of boutique coffee represented by Starbucks. Now boutique coffee has become the fastest growing coffee market. Coffee producing and importing countries around the world are aware of the great potential of the boutique coffee market, and continue to make efforts in the production and production of boutique coffee.
