El Salvador-Lajas Manor

El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. Coffee beans are the main agricultural products in most regions. We can see the influence of coffee on El Salvador. 60% of coffee beans are traditional bourbon tree species. Bourbon tree coffee is characterized by clean, bright, sweet, slightly sour citrus flavor, and its derived varieties include yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, red bourbon and so on. In the coffee market, which emphasizes that each coffee farm should be unique, El Salvador has also caught up with the trend of special treatments and varieties, so that the previously well-known differences in coffee beans are getting smaller and smaller, and more and more interesting coffees are found. However, Salvadoran coffee has always been loved by people for its thick fragrance, sweet brown sugar honey and stable and gentle taste.

Salvadoran coffee is a mature harvest season from November to February every year. New beans will be sold in the coffee market from June to August. For example, the Salvadoran coffee finals of the International Coffee Cup Test (COE) are mostly selected in the middle and late July. Most of the coffee comes from small and medium-sized farms. Salvadoran coffee farms work closely with the International Coffee Organization. The main hope is to increase the personal income of farmers and further improve the quality of life at home and community, so that coffee farmers have an incentive to change the way of planting to restore the original natural ecology, and the quality of coffee can gradually improve step by step. it makes consumers willing to accept the coffee produced in El Salvador to combine consumption patterns with natural ecology, which is the most perfect agricultural production and marketing behavior.

It is also marked on the bean bag that the coffee beans are hard beans from high altitude (SHB)

Raw coffee beans are very small and have a full appearance and high density.

Rogers Manor is certified as organic raw beans by the North District Branch of the Agriculture and Food Department in Taiwan. The organic label number is 099-1064-00002.

Las Lajas organic farm is a member of the Coatepeque cooperative in western El Salvador. The perfect environment (elevation, climate and soil) is very suitable for the growth of coffee. It is an organic farm with long-term guidance and certification by the International Association for Agricultural improvement (OCIA) and the Rainforest Union (RFA). In Taiwan, it is certified as organic raw beans organic label No. 099-1064-00002 by the North District Branch of the Agriculture and Food Administration. Farmers can give back to their hometown after they have a reasonable coffee income, and the manor can build its own clean drinking water system and centralized coffee processing equipment, and build schools to educate children in the community, so that farmers can grow first-class coffee without worries. It is an ideal coffee cooperative alliance. Coffee particles are very small and crisp green and hard, because coffee beans grow in the shade of trees in high-altitude primeval forests and coffee grows naturally without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so coffee grows slowly and has a solid density.

Shallow baking end (City): at this baking degree, the dried aroma after grinding has a strong nutty peanut aroma, and after brewing, it has a fresh fruit aroma of lemon, which is cleaner and thinner than other Salvadoran coffee grown in bourbon, the acidity of plum green apple running in the mouth will not cause coarse graininess, and the finish has the sweet fruit taste of mango and lychee.

The second explosion of re-baking (Full City): after the coffee is ground, the hazelnut chocolate has plenty of aroma, the sweet smell of maltose when brewed is very pleasant, the sweet aroma slides across your throat as you breathe, the taste of Salvadoran coffee is as round and balanced as milk chocolate syrup, and the sweetness of raisins is great.

Overall comments: El Salvador Rogers Manor in today's sun and honey treatment is popular in Central America, or in the secluded high-altitude mountains to provide a safe environment for the growth of low-yield organic coffee, so that the traditional taste of El Salvador bourbon coffee can be most completely preserved, perhaps the technological treatment is an eye-opener, while the traditional treatment quietly conveys guardianship and persistence in a humble way.
