El Salvador El Salvador

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. Because of its many volcanoes, El Salvador is known as the "country of volcanoes". Every May, coffee blossoms bloom all over the volcano to form a beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, due to political instability in this beautiful country, although the coffee was very good, it could not produce a stable output for a time.

Beautiful El Salvador

The civil war in 1980 forced many farmers to give up their land and coffee in order to avoid conflict, and the sharp decline in coffee production forced many coffee buyers to move to other countries to seek purchases. During that time, many other coffee-producing Central American countries were trying to replace the original coffee grown in the lowlands with artificially developed varieties of coffee adapted to pest-proof cultivation in the highlands. The only good thing the war brought to the country was that Savaldo did not participate in the breeding boom of hybrid coffee, thus preserving its excellent Bourbon bourbon tree with a much better flavor than the hybrid. To this day, many ancient bourbon tree species can still be found in El Salvador.

Salvadoran coffee-bourbon

Today, the pioneer of Salvadoran coffee is Aida Batlle, whose great-great-grandfather's generation still uses the label of Salvadoran coffee after mixing a variety of coffee fruits from different sources. When it comes to Aida Batlle, with a background in the United States, with the wave of boutique coffee, she insists on dealing with different batches of coffee fruits separately, planting and sorting coffee with workers, and practicing organic coffee trees. It may be easier to replace coffee trees with highlands to plant disease-resistant species, but I think Aida Batll will continue to adhere to her concept of high-quality coffee and continue to grow the original lowland varieties.

Salvadoran coffee is less acidic and softer than other Central American countries, and the famous bourbon variety has a fragrant smell and rich taste.

The famous varieties of Salvadoran coffee are Bourbon, Pacas, Pacamara, Typica.
