El Salvador, located in the northwest of Central America and bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the south, is one of the birthplaces of the ancient Mayan civilization. The nearby volcanoes, plateaus, lakes and bathing beaches along the Pacific coast are all very pleasant. But El Salvador is most famous for its unique, mild-flavored coffee.

El Salvador is one of the small countries in Central America with a very dense population. People here love coffee. The coffee in El Salvador tastes well balanced. Salvadoran coffee exports account for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March each year, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany. In the early 1990s, due to the impact of war, the national economy of El Salvador was greatly damaged, even destroyed. As a result, the output of coffee decreased from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991.

In El Salvador, the coffee beans rich in the Kuskabapa region are the best, slightly lighter, fragrant, pure and slightly sour. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society. Another rare coffee is Parkmara, a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Marago Rippi coffee, best produced in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkmara coffee is full-grained, but not very fragrant.
