Honduras

Honduras, country: Located in Central America. It is bordered by Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and the Caribbean and has ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. However, illegal logging and deforestation through slash-and-burn practices are harming the environment considerably: Every year approximately 1150 square miles of forest are destroyed. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central America. It was considered the proverbial โ€œBanana Republic,โ€ since the United Fruit Company, the Standard Fruit Company and the Cuyamel Fruit Company acquired huge areas of land for farming at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century. Today, coffee is an additional important export. It has a very strong flavor, spicy acidity, and a silky, fruity taste with gentle nutty nuances.
