El Salvador: sun-dried beans La Concordia H.I.U at Concordia Manor

As I mentioned earlier, Salvadoran coffee has always been one of my favorite coffee producing countries. I always liked the beans of "Finca La Companula Estate" very much before. In addition to the poetic charm of his name, the blessing of the C.O.E award-winning manor, coupled with the surprise after actually drinking it, made me full of infinite expectations and fantasies about the beans of El Salvador.

Before the Spring Festival, I took an one-sided look at the bean seller's bean list, coupled with the "Soul of El Salvador", so when I was picking and buying raw beans before the Spring Festival, I ordered an additional three kilograms of raw beans from El Salvador's Concordia Manor and put them back. But soon Gayo came to spoil the mess, and at that time he began to play with Gayo beans and was busy baking them for friends' clients, so Concordia was silently snubbed by me since the beginning of February to this day.

Last night, I checked the information of Concordia to make my raw bean management label, and I was surprised to find that this bean has such a great history! Today, after unpacking these three kilograms, picking out defective beans, and keeping them in small packages, I had no place to go, so I baked them and drank them to save them. If so, El Salvador still didn't let me down! Imported sour fragrance, after the middle and back of the throat, you can strongly feel the sour aroma in the mouth reverse to sweet in a very short time, strong fruit tone, is a very sweet and delicious beans! I am so ignorant of the goods. Leave it on the bean cabinet in the corner and ignore it. XD

Many raw beans still stick to the flesh on the surface, the beans look very beautiful, the smell is sweet, and the defect rate is ultra-low. My bean selection criteria are relatively strict, and they all maintain a good score of only about 1% (only 32.5g unpleasant beans are singled out for three kilograms of raw beans). Very good! I'll take this bean in the future!

El Salvador: La Concordia (also known as "Harmony Farm", Concordia means "Harmony" in Spanish) Coffee is harvested only once a year, between November and February of the following year. Newly harvested beans are usually shipped abroad from June to August. In El Salvador, 60% of the coffee is grown in bourbon, such as orange bourbon, pink bourbon, red bourbon, etc. What is particularly striking is that El Salvador is also the sovereign state of the Pacamara and Pacas trees.

After the introduction of high-quality El Concordia sun-dried beans, the market response was very good, and the farm and Sincuyo Shangri-La Farm belong to the ACOES Cooperative in the Tacuba producing area. It was certified by Fair Trade Association Fair Trade in 2008, and since then it has established a closer cooperation and procurement model. Fairtrade Association funding can protect natural resources, build better infrastructure, offices, warehouses, farmers' kitchens and ecological processing plants, etc., and ultimately improve the living environment of all members.
