Saguo coffee fruits are harvested only once a year, mostly from November to February of the following year. More than 60% of the varieties are bourbon strains. It is especially worth mentioning that Saguo is the most important country to grow Pacas and Pacamara. In addition, the coffee grading system in Saudi Arabia is basically divided into three grades according to the altitude of planting: lowland CS (500murm 900m), highland HG (900m Mel 1200m), and extremely highland SHG (1200m -).

When it comes to Salvadoran coffee, you have to talk to you about Aida Batlle, a legend in the boutique coffee industry.

Aida is from El Salvador, whose family business is a coffee farm that has been run for generations. When she was young, she and her family moved to Miami to live in the United States because of the Salvadoran civil war. She did not return to El Salvador until 2002. To help her father, she started as a complete novice in the family-run manor of Finca Kilimajaro, which won the first place in El Salvador's first COE in 2003, with a gold price of $14.06 / lb. at a time when the market price of coffee was low and less than a dollar a pound, it was incredible for them to be able to sell it at this price.

The title not only glorified her estate and the Santa Ana producing area, but also led to a wave of boutique coffee throughout El Salvador.

Since this crucial year, Aida has been more rigorous in managing farm affairs and has set up its own processing plant to produce the highest quality micro-batches. In addition to the traditional treatment methods, she has also made reference to many different countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Sumatra wet stripping treatment, etc., and incorporated innovation into her experimental batches. As Aida's estate is so popular that its output always exceeds demand, in order to meet more customer demand, she began to cooperate with the local J. Hill Y CIA processing plant with a history of more than a century in 2009 to launch Aida selected batch Aida Batlle Selection (ABS) to select local estates that produce high-quality coffee and assist and guide them in the process of planting, picking, post-processing and so on. And personally supervise and check whether the production quality is up to the standard, after the cup test, the flavor can reach her required batches before it can be exported in the name of ABS.
