Honduras Cupping Competition and Coffee Trip: Coffee Cultivation in Copan, Ocotepeque, Lempira, Marcala, La Tigra, El Paraiso ()

  „We stopped by the roadside for a little coffee break at and there was actually a few red ripe coffee cherries on the sunny plot beside the road. I think this is the first time I ever picked coffee and drank coffee at the same time. There is not much fruit in the coffee cherry but it is sweet, and once you taste it you will be able to identify this flavor that emerges every so often as a positive quality in the cup.“

  „Five years ago, Christina and her family sold their coffee cherries to bargain-hunting exporters, and the coffee was blended or private-labeled rather than promoted under the El Valle name. The family had no relationship with the people who handled their coffee, and they had no idea what the coffee sold for to roasters or consumers. Today, things are much different. The farm’s coffee crop is bought and shared exclusively by three companies—Stumptown Coffee, a small roaster in Portland, Ore.; Batdorf & Bronson, a medium-sized roaster in Olympia, Wash.; and Allegro Coffee Co., a larger roaster in Boulder, Colorado.“

  „The leaves dripped liquid life after the storm the night before. Surely the coffee trees were happy: red and yellow cherries seemed about to burst and this became all the more evident by the sun's rays shining on them. The morning breeze bent the trees and wrapped them in a dance that was amazing in its rythm -a synchronized ballet moving toward the mountains.“
