Coffee mellow Tour (XVII) Salvadoran Coffee

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, without the magnificent scenery of Mexico or the beauty of Lake Attilan in Guatemala. Although it is also an active Mayan civilization, it always seems to be remembered at the end. However, such a small country is also rich in Central American specialty, coffee.

Salvadoran coffee is not very famous, and low-key coffee can only be found through deliberate search. The best quality coffee here is mainly exported to Germany, which alone shows the good quality of coffee, because the German, who has always been famous for its rigour, has a very high demand for coffee quality.

Although the area of El Salvador is small, it has dozens of volcanoes, and it is the country with the highest volcanic density in the world, so it is called the "country of volcanoes". The average elevation of the country is high, and this geographical environment is very conducive to the growth of coffee. The western part of the country near Guatemala is the main coffee producing area. Coffee is the most important export of this small country, even accounting for about half of its foreign exchange earnings. The best coffee brands are Pipil and Pacamara. Pip is the Aztec Mayan name for coffee. Parkmara is a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Marago Rippi coffee. These two kinds of coffee are also popular high-quality coffee in the international market.
