  Honduras has been a challenge over the last like 5ish year. Very similar to Mexico, we're seeing alot of soil deterioration over time and alot of genetic deterioration. For example, Honduras has primarily only grow Pacas (bourbon line) and some older bourbon/typica types.. as well as some catimore and a sarchimor hybrid called parainema. Pacas specifically, awhile back, really had excellent cup quality and potential. But, over the years, it has become more and more challenging and I'm sure soil and variety are a gross over simplification of whats actually happening. This isn't to say that there is no longer any excellent coffee in Honduras, but it has become significantly more challenging.  Personally, I'm hoping to see more genetic diversity in the future, similar to what Colombia has done over the last 10 to 5 years

  fully depends on the producer! what I'd love to see in Colombia is more shade trees. There are very very few trees in southern huila.. if anything they plant false banana trees as 'shade' . But, I think climate change and trees are going to be more of a struggle for Colombia... There year is already looking like very, very dry el nino year in Huila for later harvest.

  here is a photo from the top of Servio Botina's farm... ha the difference between farms in Colombia and something like Pepe's farm is quite stark
