Brief introduction of El Salvador Christmas Manor, El Salvador Christmas Manor Coffee Bean Cup Test

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

El Salvador is one of the small countries in Central America with a dense population. The flavor of its coffee is characterized by excellent balance.

Today, this coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports. 35% of the extra hard beans of the best coffee are exported to Germany from January to March.

In the early 1990s, guerrilla warfare greatly damaged the country's national economy, reducing coffee production from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991. The eastern part of the country was most affected by guerrilla warfare, and many farmers and workers were forced to leave the manor. The shortage of funds has led to a sharp drop in coffee production, from 1200 kg per hectare in the past to less than 900kg per hectare today. In addition, the government imposed an additional 15% tariff on exported coffee in 1986, that is, an additional 15% in addition to the existing 30% tax. Taxes, together with unfavorable exchange rates, have greatly reduced the export of coffee and the quality of coffee.

The government finally realized the great role of coffee in the national economy, such as solving employment, earning foreign exchange and developing agriculture, so it privatized some coffee export industries in 1990, hoping to increase the income rate of coffee in the export market.

Christmas Manor, located about 5000 feet north of the Apaneca Ilamatepec Mountains, is also a model manor that produces the best coffee beans in El Salvador. The owner of the estate is also a farmer who is very brave to try various changes, such as the sun beans launched in 2009, which caused a sensation, and then screened out PB beans from 60 million pounds of coffee produced by the farm in December of the same year, and got a high score of 91 on the professional coffee cup testing website in the United States. And constantly update several kinds of coffee, there is no shortage of interesting coffee beans such as orange bourbon, red bourbon and yellow bourbon, which should drink honey-treated coffee produced by the farm next season. This is a farm worthy of long-term attention.
