HONDURAS SHG EP BIO - LIGHT ROAST COFFEE BEANS

CREMA AND THE TASTE OF COFFEE
Honduras SHG EP BIO is a fine but rich crema coffee with a light colour and satiny texture. On the palate, a combination of fresh fruity notes develops, which may include citrus or tropical fruit notes, while a subtle floral note adds depth to the overall experience. The coffee has a higher acidity, making it refreshing and a perfect choice for those looking for intense and aromatic coffee beans.
The origins of coffee

SHG EP BIO from Honduras is a coffee of exceptional quality, as the abbreviations in its name indicate. SHG (Strictly High Grown) refers to coffee grown at higher altitudes where lower temperatures slow down the ripening of the coffee cherry. This gives the fruit a richer flavour and exceptional quality. The abbreviation EP (European Preparation) means that the beans are carefully handpicked to ensure the purity and quality of the crop.Honduras, although a smaller country in size, is the world's fifth largest coffee producer.
Despite the challenges that coffee trees have faced in the past, they are becoming an increasingly important player in the market for quality coffee beans. Today, more than 100 000 families, mostly smallholders with farms of less than 2 hectares, are involved in production. Interestingly, the average age of Honduran producers is decreasing as young people see coffee growing as an opportunity and successfully penetrate specialised markets.
The region of La Paz, more specifically the Marcala-Montecillos area, lies at an altitude of around 1,300 metres above sea level, and coffee trees are grown organically, without the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The main harvest takes place between December and April, and farmers process the coffee cherries using a traditional washing method that preserves the purity of flavour. The beans are dried in the sun, which gives them their characteristic depth and quality. Immerse yourself in SHG EP BIO coffee from Honduras and allow yourself to be transported to a country where coffee has a tradition going back decades. Specifically, the southwest of Honduras, where conditions are ideal for growing coffee trees. Thanks to the favourable natural conditions and the light roasting process, its flavour profile with a higher acidity will be particularly appreciated by lovers of strong coffees. Place of origin:
