Among the countries of origin in Central America
El Salvador can be said to be the smallest country.
Although the output is much less than that of other countries
But the Pacific sea breeze and volcanic environment provide
El Salvador coffee farmers have unique planting advantages and diversified flavor performance.
At present, the winning variety Pacamara in many cup testing competitions was born in El Salvador.
Among the producing areas of El Salvador
The advantages of soil quality and planting height are
Mount Santa Ana, which is located at an altitude of 2381 meters west of the capital
Mount Santa Ana, which is still active, erupted in 2005.
Although it caused heavy economic losses and some casualties to local coffee farmers in that year.
But then these volcanic ash with organic matter provided a very rich source of nutrients for the local soil.
Until now, Santa Ana is still recognized as one of the best producing areas in El Salvador.
Among the Santa Ana producing areas, Saint Elena Manor is one of the few estates at the highest altitude.
The estate is currently run by Mr. Lima and Mr. Don Fernando Lima.
It is currently the third generation of landowners.
Mr. Fernando has more than 30 years of coffee planting experience since he was young.
At present, the main varieties planted in the manor are bourbon and Pacamara.
Mr. Fernando adheres to the principle of maintaining environmental diversity in the concept of manor planting.
As soon as you step into the manor, you can feel the difference from his Salvadoran manor.
The manor maintains a very primitive forest environment.
At the same time, Mr. Fernando also retained a high proportion of old bourbon coffee trees.
Some trees are even more than 15 years old.
For the landowner, these coffee trees are the fruit of painstaking maintenance.
The coffee tree will not be cut down because it is older and has less fruit.
Although these old bourbon trees have less fruit, they can provide a better cup test flavor.
Traditionally, Salvadoran coffee farmers are concerned about coffee fruits.
Exposure is not handled so carefully.
At the same time, it is also relatively crude in terms of equipment.
But Fernando keeps updating a lot of equipment in the processing plant.
Makes Santa Elena Manor one of the few in El Salvador.
An estate that uses African scaffolding for the sun-drying of coffee fruits.
Although the use of African scaffolding equipment tends to stretch longer in the sun.
But it can improve the cleanliness and sweetness of coffee.
At the same time, Mr. Fernando Fernando was 15 years ago
They began to set up their own washing treatment station.
With its own washing treatment station, the landowner can control the subsequent coffee treatment.
At the same time, more detailed batch experiments of honey treatment can be carried out.
At St. Elena's Manor, Mr. Fernando.
After the coffee red fruit is harvested, it will not be peeled or tanned immediately.
But first put the red fruit in the clean water tank of the treatment plant.
Sit still to improve the sweetness of coffee
Finally, the follow-up processing is carried out.
Although many excellent batches of washed coffee can be found in El Salvador in the past.
But it is often inferior to other countries in terms of sweetness and mellowness.
Santa Elena Manor is one of the few estates in El Salvador with honey treatment and sun exposure experience.
The owner of Fernando Manor is concerned about honey treatment and sun exposure.
The details are almost to the point of being critical.
These efforts have enabled St. Elena's Manor to win a total of seven C.O.E competitions since 2003.
The top 10 in two Central American competitions organized by the Rainforest Conservation Union.
Santa Elena Manor is located west of El Salvador.
Santa Ana Volcano of Santa Ana volcano producing area
Due to volcanoes, the manor soil is very rich in organic matter.
The average elevation of the manor is about 1850 meters and the terrain is steep.
It is one of the highest estates in the area.
At present, the owner of the estate is run by Mr. Don Fernando Lima
Mr. Fernando's idea is to maintain the original traditional planting style of the country as much as possible.
Maintain a wide range of natural agroforestry ecology in the garden except for the necessary pruning and irrigation.
More than 90% of the manors planted bourbon varieties.
At the same time, Fernando also uses modern agricultural management technology to divide the manor into different blocks.
Closely monitor and record the soil quality, fertilization and coffee trees.
In addition to excellent planting, St. Elena Manor also has its own coffee washing facilities.
For farmers with water washing stations, in addition to avoiding price exploitation to outsiders,
The best thing is that the coffee red fruit harvested can be handled more rigorously.
Fernando is very strict in the process of washing treatment.
In addition to regularly recording the temperature and humidity of the day
More attention should be paid to the treatment of coffee and raw beans in the fermentation tank.
This batch is the selected batch in the middle of the harvest season of 2017.
The coffee treated in the middle of harvest has the best quality and flavor.
