Although the land area of El Salvador is small, it has dozens of volcanoes, and it is the country with the highest volcanic density in the world, so it is called the "country of volcanoes". The average elevation of the country is high, and this geographical environment is very conducive to the growth of coffee, and the western part of El Salvador near Guatemala is the main coffee producing area.

Climatic characteristics

Savanna climate. The plain area belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the mountain area belongs to the subtropical forest climate. The average annual temperature is 25-28 ℃. The annual precipitation is more than 1800 mm in mountain areas and about 1000 mm in coastal areas. The rainy season is from May to October.

Don't underestimate El Salvador's coffee production. In its heyday, it was once the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, but decades of civil war almost dragged down the coffee industry. fortunately, the war has stopped in recent years, and the coffee industry has come back to life. The only benefit that the civil war brought to the Salvadoran country was that the farmers' fields were barren and failed to catch up with the most popular Katimo exposure train in the past two decades, thus preserving the ancient bourbon and Tibica varieties, that is to say, El Salvador still uses the most traditional shade planting.
