El Salvador honey treats HIU Kahamaka (Cajamarca) farm

El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America with rich natural ecology and species diversity, and coffee beans have a long history. Coffee was planted as early as 1740. Coffee beans are the main crops in most areas, but don't forget his existence because he is young. 60% of the coffee in El Salvador is Bourbon bourbon, such as orange, pink bourbon, red bourbon and so on. Bourbon gives people the impression that it is mellow and sweet. It is worth noting that El Salvador is the sovereign state of Pacas, Pacamara Pacas and Pacamara coffee species. Coffee beans are only harvested once a year, between November and February of the following year, so newly harvested coffee is usually shipped to foreign coffee buyers from June to August. The agricultural infrastructure is quite perfect, and farmers are extremely enthusiastic and professional. The production of high-quality coffee has boomed the coffee export market, which in turn has improved the quality of coffee beans, as Salvadorans say, as long as you take a sip of Salvadoran coffee and you will smile.

HIQ (High Quality), as its name implies, is a high-quality coffee bean, a development program to help improve the quality of small farms, similar to the Ethiopian Red Cherry program. HIU is the executive promotion company of HIQ coffee beans. HIU will look for special high-quality farms such as miniature, variety, treatment, climate, etc., and then educate farmers to comply with HIU production standards. It includes measuring the sugar content of coffee cherries and maintaining organic care for the production land, and assisting its farms to build updated processing equipment to make the whole process comply with HIQ standards, but only a cup of coffee with a score of more than 85 points is called HIQ coffee. HIU currently has farms in El Salvador, Panama and Ethiopia. (Taiwan has invited HIU personnel to Taiwan to guide the production of Alishan coffee.) the coffee produced is rare and unique, highlighting that the difference from ordinary coffee is more in line with the coffee consumers want.

After farm founder Robert Ehuarez came to El Salvador from Colombia in 1850 to buy the land, he began to plant coffee trees with his family, which is the origin of Cajamarca Farm! The farm is located on the edge of San Geronimo Road in Nehaba, so transportation is very convenient. Most of the farm is used for afforestation and conservation work, employing about 40 regular staff and 150 temporary harvest farmers during the harvest.

Overall comment: the quality of the coffee launched by HIU in the past two years is amazing. I am glad to buy HIU coffee beans from Central America with the "Red Cherry" project. HIU Salvador Kahamaka produces honey-treated beans with the aroma of violets and roses, and a pleasant taste of cream vanilla. This is the best honey-treated crop.
