Introduction:

Active volcanic activity brings mineral-rich volcanic ash to El Salvador, and the soil dominated by volcanic ash contains more minerals and less organic matter, so in order to maintain its geographical location and make up for the lack of organic matter, Salvadoran farmers will use the pulp residue of treated coffee beans or organic matter under coffee trees as fertilizer to make up for the lack of organic matter in the soil. Make the planting of coffee trees more able to produce coffee beans with harmonious taste. El Salvador's most meaningful initiative is to introduce organic agriculture to the world, growing more than 150000 tons of organic coffee each year.

Salvadoran coffee has five major producing areas (Apaneca, Central Belt, Chichontepec, Tecapa& Cacahuatique Mountain Range), all of which are generally distributed on volcanic ash-covered mountain slopes or plateau areas at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. November to April of the following year is the coffee harvest and harvest season. Because coffee prefers mild climate, coffee trees in El Salvador are mainly planted in tall shade (shade grown coffee), in order to avoid excessive temperature and direct exposure to the sun, affecting the quality of coffee beans. The coffee beans produced by it belong to Arabica species, mainly from Pacas and Bourbon brands, and belong to big beans with sweet taste and excellent flavor.
