People's understanding of boutique coffee is no longer satisfied with pure Arabica beans, but begins to emphasize the differences between different producing areas. In particular, more coffee merchants order coffee directly from their origin, reducing coffee transportation and storage time. The concept of regional brand is gradually accepted. People are no longer satisfied with whether a cup of coffee comes from Ethiopia, but to find out which coffee farm it comes from and what is the flavor of this coffee.

The high-profile sudden variety hybrid Pacamara

The coffee growing industry in El Salvador was affected and devastated by the Nicaraguan Revolution in 1979, which led to the abandonment of many coffee producing areas, resulting in a sharp decline in production and did not begin to recover until the 1990s. Affected by the civil war, the farm was unable to introduce new varieties, so it had to continue to cultivate bourbon species, accounting for about 70% of the total planting.

El Salvador has a tropical climate of half a year in the rainy season and half a year in the dry season. As far as climatic conditions are concerned, El Salvador is very suitable for growing coffee. There are many volcanoes in the area, and almost all of the coffee is grown on the hillside of the volcano.

El Salvador has a sudden bourbon mutant Pacas and a large Pacamara hybrid of Pacas and Maragogype, which has a clear acidity and aroma similar to Tibica, and has attracted considerable attention in recent years. All the coffee grown in El Salvador is Arabica, of which bourbon accounts for the majority, while the sudden mutant Pacamara accounts for a small percentage of the total. The Carmen Manor, owned by the former Prime Minister of El Salvador, chose to grow Pacamara at a higher altitude. The exquisite work here takes into account the natural environment and ecological protection, using semi-washing refining, and with daylight drying method.

Carmen Manor has a very high rating and has a Class A certification in the rating of the Rainforest Conservation Union, a coffee sustainable resource certification group. Coffee beans in El Salvador are graded by altitude, from the highest highlands (Strictly High Grown=SHG) of more than 1200 m to the lowlands of 500m and 590m (Gentral Standard=CS).
