The Olive Manor has been a fully organic farm since 2016, with Rainforest Alliance certification, where coffee production is managed in traditional processes, washed with clean water and dried in a clay courtyard.

The olive manor has been planted in El Salvador for a century. Local Ingas, pomelo and olive trees are used as shade trees, and more than 75 tree species are used for cross shading to form a natural forest interlaced with coffee trees. Nourished by this volcanic soil, this beautiful coffee garden Because the manor is located on the volcano, it is a very fertile volcanic topography. In 2006, when the Ilamapepec volcano erupted, the volcanic ash directly covered the manor. Although the coffee farm was damaged at that time, it became more fertile because of the fertile volcanic soil cover a few years later.

The Scott Laboratory no longer exists, but it is now the National Agricultural Laboratory and part of the Kenyan Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Research Organization. Both varieties are bourbon-derived varieties, although from different pedigrees: SL-28 was developed from a drought-resistant variety originally planted in Tanganyika, which is part of modern Tanzania; it is generally considered to be of the highest quality but less productive than other commercial Arabica varieties.

Kenya SL28 variety is one of the most famous and popular varieties in Africa, in recent years it is famous for its amazing blackcurrant and bright sour fruit, and it is the representative variety with the highest attention after rose summer.

SL28 also has this ability to shine to the major coffee countries in Kenya, where it is about to be planted.

Kenya SL28, a bourbon line screened and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya at the beginning of the 20th century, has a mixed pedigree of French missionaries, Mocha and Yemeni iron pickup. High sweetness, exquisite balance, prominent citrus and black plum flavors, strong acidity, rich taste and beautiful balance are the unique flavor characteristics of Kenyan SL28 coffee.
