In El Salvador, the earliest commercial coffee cultivation began in the 1850s. As a result of tax breaks, coffee soon became a popular crop among Salvadoran farmers, as well as an important economic and export crop in the country.

Until the 1880s, Salvadoran coffee-became the fourth largest grower in the world, producing more than twice as much as it is today.

The quality of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec producing area has a good reputation, and with its rich volcanic soil, this area specially produces some race beans. The Santa Ana volcano last erupted in 2005, and the soil near the volcano became very fertile in the following years. This producing area is the largest producing area in El Salvador and the earliest coffee growing area in El Salvador.

El Salvador's bourbon variety is famous for its sweetness and high balance, as well as its pleasant and mild acidity, honey and almonds, making it ideal for lovers who are just beginning to explore the flavor of coffee in South America.

El Salvador has a tropical climate with regular rainy season and stable temperature and humidity, coupled with many volcanoes, so it is a very suitable environment for growing coffee trees. Coffee brands often advertise their Salvadoran coffee beans as "volcano coffee" or "hot spring coffee".

The grading system here is distinguished by the height of planting:

Strictly High Grown (SHB): above 1200 m above sea level

High Grown (HG): 800-1200 m above sea level

Central Standard (CS): 400-800m above sea level

Breeze Manor is located in the highlands of the volcanic mountains at an altitude of 1750 meters above sea level. The farm is a precious natural ecological reserve with a stable climate and spring all the year round. In order not to destroy this ecological reserve and the soil is not polluted, reduce the use of pesticides as much as possible, and the coffee fruit is slowly ripened under such careful care and cool temperature, making this bean full of thick sweetness. With sour citrus aromas and a caramel finish.

Finca Las Brisas Breeze Manor is located in the highlands of the Apaneca/IIamatepec volcanic mountains, and the farm is located in the precious UNESCO ecological reserve. Because of his love of nature, the manor owner managed the whole manor in the style of a garden.

They bought a small piece of land here in 1989 and built a beautiful country house. Over time, Mr. Pascual realized the opportunities that high-quality coffee created for them. So, in a very short time, they bought three plots of land near the manor, which currently has a total area of 3.5ha at Las Brisas Breeze.

Fruit trees planted around small-scale coffee farms that become shade trees for coffee and provide a food ecological chain for nearby wildlife. Finca Las Brasis Breeze Manor is located 1750 meters above sea level and has very cool temperatures throughout the year, so Bourbon bourbon and Pacamara cherries can be ripened at stable and cool temperatures throughout the year.

Because of the belief and determination of Mr. Pascual, and to minimize the human impact on the environment, they limit the use of pesticides and the way farm composting is implemented to protect the quality of the soil. The crop harvest was 80 QQ in 2009 and 2010 and is expected to double in the next year. It is also worth mentioning that Mr. Pascual has been reforestation and introduced foreign tree species, such as cherries, nuts and maples, which have adapted well to the natural environment of the farm. As a new generation of coffee producer, Mr. Pascual is committed to maintaining the coffee business, increasing coffee production and improving the beauty of his farm's natural environment.
