A brief history of coffee in El Salvador:

In the mid-19th century, El Salvador became independent from Nicaragua after the disintegration of the Union, and its cash crop was mainly locust blue, a crop used to make indigo dyes, until chemical dyes were invented in the mid-19th century. the land was converted to growing coffee.

Because of the support of the aristocracy and the background of militarized rule, the political situation was relatively stable, and the coffee industry also led to the development of the private industry. In the 1880s, it even became the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. The civil war broke out in 1980, which had a great impact on coffee production and trade.

Santa Rosa Manor in El Salvador

This is a 56-hectare land that was reforested by coniferous forests in 2000. Of the total area, 20 hectares are planted with coffee (the area consists of four plots, each with five hectares). The planted forest is used as the shadow of coffee, which is its fourth year of production. The establishment of the plantation stems from the production of a kind of coffee that can win the first place in the excellent cup. For this reason, a genetically modified Pacamara variety was chosen to start the farm, planting only plants that showed Maragogype advantage.

General information:

We chose the plot at the highest point of the farm to participate in the Excellence Cup. Produce gourmet coffee according to the guidelines and fertilize and harvest the plot with other farms. The grinding process takes place on nearby farms owned by the same company.

In the future, our goal is to continue to work closely together in the current way, with special emphasis on improving the fertilization plan and the milling process until the quality of our coffee becomes the No. 1 standard in the Excellence Cup. This farm is one of the legacies of Jorge Raul Rivera's coffee knowledge (1938-2013). He is not only a professor at the University of El Salvador, but has also taught coffee cultivation and processing for 10 years, but has been working in the region since 1978. He also pioneered the establishment of the crop (Chalatenango) in the north of the country.
