The country of Honduras is well-suited to coffee production. Its soil, climate, and conditions are similar to those in its neighbor country Guatemala. There is a range of coffee quality in Honduras: It can produce everything from blender coffees to high-grown specialty lots and still has extraordinary potential.
Honduras La Flor comes from regions with a long tradition of treating coffee with great care. Farmers diligently work to enhance the bean’s natural attributes so it can reach an optimal level of satisfaction. La Flor translates to “the flower.” The name reflects this coffee’s delightful aroma that enriches the taste and gives it a special character.
This type carries two quality classifications:
- SHG (Strictly High Grown) specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude around 1350 meters. Coffee grown at a higher altitude and lower temperature produces a slower maturing fruit and a denser bean; which creates a more desirable specialty cup; this classification is higher than HG.
- EP (European Preparation) specifies that the raw beans are all hand sorted to remove any defective beans and foreign material.
