Chocolate Lover Manor

It is a farm in the Santa Ana volcanic area of Santa Ana, El Salvador, at an altitude of 1300 to 1500 meters above sea level. On the hillside of the volcanic belt, there is plenty of moisture and many microclimates, which makes the coffee grown here with a very fine flavor. This farm is mainly planted with Bourbon varieties, which stretch all over the hillside. As the primitive forest in this area is quite intact, the coffee garden is often visited by nearby birds, reptiles, and other wild animals.

The coffee bean is mainly presented in different ways, and the farm owner blends this chocolate lover, single orrigin coffee in El Salvador with 50% honey and 50% washing. With 100% Bourbon variety, with different treatment methods, the whole coffee flavor is more multi-layered and taste is very rich. The method of honey treatment here is to transport coffee beans to a honey treatment plant about 800 meters above sea level. The advantage of dealing with it at a lower altitude is that it is not easy to get clouds, sufficient sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays, which allows coffee beans to absorb enough heat. Make the coffee show a very good aroma. The honey-treated coffee here can dry the coffee in a very short time, and the flavor can be more vividly presented. The washing rule is to make use of the rich water resources in this area to give the coffee a very clean taste.

Mix 50% honey treatment with 50% water wash to make a special single orrigin coffee, which is the flavor the farm wants to express. Because this coffee is full of chocolate, cocoa, stone fruit tone, the whole thickness is very smooth, suitable for medium-roasted way to show this coffee its unique chocolate flavor, so we specially named it "Chocolate Lover" series.

Because the farm owner loves this land, he uses the jungle planting method and retains many native tree species as shade trees. this also provides a suitable habitat for wild animals and is an expression of goodwill to the earth's environment. The manor is also very concerned about the lives of farmers and will distribute bonuses to farmers at different festivals to help them live a better life.
