Active volcanic activity brings mineral-rich volcanic ash to the country, and the soil dominated by volcanic ash contains more minerals and less organic matter, so in order to maintain its geographical position and make up for the lack of organic matter, farmers in the country will use the pulp residue of treated coffee beans or organic matter under coffee trees as fertilizer to make up for the lack of organic matter in the soil, so that the planting of coffee trees can produce coffee beans with harmonious taste. The country's most meaningful initiative is to introduce organic agriculture to the world, cultivating more than 150000 tons of organic coffee every year.

Sa coffee has five major producing areas (Apaneca, Central Belt, Chichontepec, Tecapa)

& Cacahuatique Mountain Range), generally distributed in the alpine slopes or plateau areas covered with volcanic ash at an altitude of 1200 meters, and the coffee harvest and harvest season is from November to April of the following year. As coffee prefers a mild climate, coffee trees are mainly planted in the shade of tall trees (shade grown coffee) in order to avoid excessive temperature and direct sun exposure, affecting the quality of coffee beans.

The coffee beans produced by it belong to Arabica species, mainly from Pacas and Bourbon brands, and belong to big beans with sweet taste and excellent flavor.

The Green Hills Manor in El Salvador, which has been growing coffee for more than 150 years, is currently managed by the Alvarez family, which has been growing coffee in El Salvador for a century.

The coffee growing site of the Green Hills Manor is located on the lush green hills of Santa Ana, in the west of El Salvador, which provides rich volcanic soil and an ideal mild climate, making it an excellent condition for cultivating coffee trees.

The Alvarez family supports the local community by providing free schooling and health check-ups for children aged 5-15.

And the family holds a commitment to natural ecological conservation and environmental protection and does apply it to coffee cultivation.

All the coffee produced by the green hill manor is protected by shade trees, which not only protects the coffee from direct sunlight, but also protects the soil. On the other hand, it also provides habitat for birds and other wild animals.

What is even more commendable about the manor is that it also provides a shelter for stray animals and abandoned animals to have a warm home.

The El Borbollon, owned by the Alvarez family, has been growing coffee in El Salvador for more than 100 years and is now run by a fifth generation of successors. The coffee processing plant comes from two nearby estates, one is LaReforma, which was founded by Rafael Alvarez Lalinde in 1892 and is owned by the same family as the processing plant.

The Bobolong processing plant is now managed by Eduardo Alvarez.

El Salvador is the country where Sasa has conducted the largest regional bidding in recent years under its own brand, Project of Origin (Project Origin).
