El Salvador is mainly divided into five main producing areas

They are Apaneca, Central Belt, Chichontepec, Tecapa & Cacahuatique Mountain Range

Roughly distributed in alpine slopes or plateau areas covered with volcanic ash above 1200 meters above sea level

Most of them grow coffee in the way of "shade" (planting Shade Grown in the shade of trees)

The advantages of this method are that coffee beans can be ripened uniformly, honey mucus content increases, weight is high, and sweet polyphenols are more likely to be formed.

Let the main ingredients of coffee beans be fully formed. And coffee trees with too much sunshine will roll up the edges of their leaves and lose water.

This is not conducive to photosynthesis, reduce carbon dioxide absorption, reduce the combination of sugar.

Honey treatment

Honey treatment is called Honey Process or Miel Process. After hearing the name honey treatment, many people will think that it is a process of processing honey.

Or the processed coffee will have a honey flavor, in fact, honey treatment is the method of peeling off the pulp and drying the fruit with endocarp.

Because in the process of drying, the water of the gel on the surface of the core will evaporate, so it becomes as sticky as honey, hence the name.
