Region Intro:
The vast majority of coffee varieties grown in Honduras are Arabica, mainly Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, Typica and Pacas-derived varieties.
Honduran coffee beans are relatively large in size, uniform in size, and even and glossy in color. Caturra - native to Brazil, is a mutation of Bourbon. Catuai - originating from Brazil. It is a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra. The fruit shape is quite similar to Bourbon, but the yield per plant is higher, and the flavor also has a pleasant acidity.
Brewing Tips:
Recommended brewing method: Pour over
Parameters: Water temperature: 90-91°C; Grind size: Medium-fine grind (80% passing through a 20-mesh sieve according to Chinese standards); Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:15; Use a pulsed pouring technique for extraction.
Start with a 30g bloom for 30 seconds; pour water in small streams centered to reach 125g in the first pour, then increase water flow to reach 225g when the water level is about to expose the coffee bed, then remove the filter when the water level is about to expose the coffee bed. (Start timing the bloom) Extraction time should be between 2'00" and 2'10".
