El Salvador Sun Bean-Santa Rita Farm (Santa Rita)

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.

Santa Rita Farm is named in honor of Sister Santa Rita of Italy. Because the fertile volcanic mud in the Ilamatepec volcanic area provides Santa Rita Farm with ideal soil for coffee cultivation, all coffee trees have shade, and these shade trees also become habitats for local animals. Coffee is harvested 100% by hand and only fully ripe coffee similar to red cherries is picked. This sun-treated coffee bean will be dried in the open space for several weeks so that the coffee bean can absorb the natural sweetness of the fruit and the heat of the sun.

A few years ago, the farm experienced a volcanic eruption, and after the disaster, employees and their families felt more deeply about the farm. This deep emotional connection was established bit by bit during the reconstruction of the farm. This is the most important cooperative farm of the Rainforest Alliance in El Salvador.
