El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, located close to Hongdura, Guatemala and the North Pacific Ocean. It has amazing volcanoes and belongs to the highland terrain, with an average altitude of 650 meters.

Santa Teresa Manor in El Salvador is run by the Batres family with a history of nearly 200 years. It specially uses hot spring water to treat the peeling and fermentation of raw beans, which makes this coffee different in taste and aroma from that produced in El Salvador. The producer takes over the hot spring source located above the manor and introduces hot spring water into six stepped hot spring pools with different elevations from high to low. When the hot spring water reaches the sixth hot spring pool, the temperature of the hot spring drops to about 32 ℃. Producers use this cooled hot spring water to refine coffee, which is a rare way to refine coffee.
