El Salvador-Santa Rita Estate

El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. The main agricultural products in most regions are coffee beans, which shows the influence of coffee on El Salvador. 60% of coffee beans are traditional bourbon species. Bourbon species coffee is characterized by clean, bright, sweet and slightly sour citrus flavor. Its derivative varieties include yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, red bourbon, etc. In the coffee market where each coffee farm must have uniqueness, El Salvador has also caught up with the trend of special processing and variety differences, making the coffee beans that were previously known to the public less and less different and finding more and more interesting coffee, but El Salvador's coffee has always been loved by people for its thick aroma and sweet taste of brown sugar honey.

El Salvador coffee is ripe and harvested from November to February every year. New beans will be sold in the coffee market from June to August. For example, the final of El Salvador coffee in the International Coffee Cup (COE) is mostly selected in mid-to-late July. Most coffee comes from small and medium-sized farms. El Salvador coffee farms work closely with international coffee organizations, mainly hoping to increase farmers 'personal income and further improve the quality of life at home and in the community. In order to make coffee farmers have incentives to change the way of planting to achieve the restoration of nature's original natural ecology, coffee quality can gradually improve, so that consumers are willing to accept the coffee produced in El Salvador to combine consumption patterns with natural ecology, this is the most perfect agricultural production and marketing behavior.
