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

Regarding El Salvador:

El Salvador has about 20, 000 small farmers, only 0.9% of the world coffee market, coffee also refers to 5.1% of the exports of the warring States. Although the sparrow is small, the boutique coffee system is very complete, such as the establishment of the National Coffee Bureau and laboratory, as well as the injection of the Outstanding Cup Competition Alliance, have brought incentives and quality improvement to the boutique market in El Salvador, such as the legend of bringing the Pacamara Pacamara (an artificial hybrid of Pacas and elephant beans) to the test table and winning high marks. The Andes range from east to west, volcanic soil is God's gift to small farmers, and the volcano's high sea makes good coffee not hard to find. El Salvador can be said to be one of the places that raw bean merchants and bakers around the world must buy every year. However, due to the influence of Greenhouse Effect and the imbalance of climate and rainfall, the transmission of iron shellfish disease has become more and more serious in recent years. This is also the relevant departments of agricultural science around the world are discussing this issue.

About Gu Shi Manor:

Gushi Manor is located at the foot of the fertile hills of Alotepec Metapan Volcano. In the middle of the eight-hectare farm, there is a huge stone 180 meters long. And because the local soil is hard, it is named Pena Redonda (huge ring-shaped stone). The landowner Carlos mainly picks Pacamara Pacamara and Pacas Pacas on the farm, as well as a small amount of bourbon Bourbon. Its coffee is the winner of the Outstanding Cup CoE contest. It can be seen that this land is a good place to grow coffee. The early civil war in El Salvador also forced many local residents to leave their homes, which may be one of the reasons for the primitive ecology of the town of La Palma. Although the output has decreased in comparison, there is a lot of improvement in terms of quality. The award of Gushi Manor is a good example. Carlos has been finished by hand since the harvest season, and the manor is also processed by sun, water washing, honey treatment and so on. Gushi Manor won four excellent Cup competitions and twice entered the top ten, which shows its diligent and rigorous working attitude.

About the excellent Cup CoE:

The Cup of Excellence Cup originated in 1999 as a coffee evaluation competition jointly organized by the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association and other non-governmental organizations. Many outstanding coffee people were brought together by the The Gourment Coffe Project project that year, and Susie Spencer Susie Spindler, who works for the international coffee organization ICO, used his marketing talents. George Howell Geore Howell and Lin Xiuhao Hidetaka Hayashi of Japan (former president of SCAJ), Marcelo Vieira and Silvio Leite of the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association, and Don Holly Don Holly, then executive director of the American Fine Coffee Association SCAA, came up with this competitive way to select quality coffee and build a transparent system so that good coffee can be presented in front of Bole.

This is different from the previous competition method to break the existing framework of coffee production and sales, so that more coffee farmers and roasters have a new direction, and are willing to invest more resources and efforts. Pay attention to varieties, seed picking environment, harvest methods, post-treatment, transportation and preservation, and so on.

With the establishment of the Outstanding Coffee Alliance ACE (Alliance for Coffee Excellence) in 2002, CoE competitions have been held in more than ten countries. At present, ten countries are hosted by Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Burundi and Luanda. And held the 100th Excellence Cup competition in Brazil at the end of 2014!

Kopi's Sensory Room, owned by Tara Su, has participated in competitions and other related activities as a member of ACE for a long time, from the initial ACE intermediate cup testing training to the advanced cup testing training taught by Mr. Hayashi Lin Xiuhao, but also participated in the international evaluation of CoE in Guatemala, Burundi and other countries. We held a number of CoE sharing sessions to bring back winning coffee and the latest information to share with you. From our own point of view, the CoE competition is like a talent show like American Idol and I am a singer, allowing coffee farmers to improve the quality of coffee through their enthusiasm, technology and attitude towards coffee, without too much modification in the process of the competition, giving good coffee a glowing stage. The results of the competition are not only auctioned through the Internet, but also the best way for boutique coffee buyers around the world to find good beans. Tara Su, in addition to promoting high-quality coffee, has insisted on free lunches for many years. Donate part of the income from the activity to a free lunch, so that children in remote areas of the country can have a meal.
