The Republic of El Salvador, located in the north of Central America, is the most populous country in Central America. The country is bordered by Honduras to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south and Guatemala to the northwest. The national economy is dominated by agriculture, and the main crops are coffee and cotton. El Salvador is also one of the birthplaces of ancient Mayan culture, with not only distant culture, but also beautiful scenery such as volcanoes, plateau lakes and beaches along the Pacific coast.

El Salvador produces 100% Arabica coffee, 68% of which is bourbon, which usually grows at 1062m above sea level. On the other hand, El Salvador has a unique mountain, river and plateau, which provides a suitable environment for the growth of bourbon coffee. At the same time, El Salvador's suitable temperature, abundant precipitation and fertile soil are also indispensable natural conditions for breeding high-quality coffee beans. Salvadoran coffee, like other typical island beans, is well-balanced, soft and good in texture.

Farm La Pechuga Platinum Manor in El Salvador, located in the Apaneca Ilamatepeq volcanic area, at 4550 feet above sea level, is one of the most delicate coffee producing areas in El Salvador, with fertile volcanic soil and microclimate, providing the best growing environment for coffee. Located in the windward mouth of the crater valley, coffee trees need to withstand the tough monsoon when they grow, making the coffee fruit grow more solid and sweet.

Platinum Manor has a very charming and complete ecological chain structure, there is a natural spring emerging in the middle of the manor, and it is the most representative natural ecological coffee in El Salvador. The estate covers an area of 11 hectares. Planted with El Salvador's national treasure, century-old bourbon beans, it produces a special floral and chocolate flavor as well as a pleasant finish, and has a gorgeous and bright sour taste. It is the flavor of top alpine Arabica beans.

The main shade trees on the estate are pear trees, Ingas and native trees, which provide a cooler temperature. The landowner plans the farm's work plan in a planned way to ensure that every member of the team has warm job opportunities. There is no doubt that Platinum Manor is a great high-quality coffee manor, with excellent cup test results, produced under socially and environmentally friendly conditions, and promised by the fourth generation to continue to be passionate and persistent in improving coffee quality and to work for the sustainable management of El Salvador boutique coffee.

El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and other Central American countries are all located in high and undulating mountains, and the coffee farms in the territory are all located in different mountain areas, so it is necessary to classify coffee beans according to the level of origin. Generally speaking, the height of the producing area is relatively low, the climate is relatively warm, the coffee grows faster, the density of raw beans is smaller, the texture is not hard, and the quality of coffee is relatively poor, while the climate in alpine areas is cold and the growth rate of coffee is slow. the density of raw beans is high, the texture is hard, and the coffee is naturally fragrant and sour. So there are also people who grade according to "hardness". The grading of these areas can be divided into the following categories, and only the first few can be included in the selection of coffee.

Some farms are located on gentle slopes along the Pacific coast, with a height of between 984ft and 3280ft, known as "Pacific class" and with low acidity. Similarly, in places such as Mexico, Honduras and Haiti, the selection of coffee should be rated as Strictly High Grown (extremely high mountain beans, referred to as SHG), followed by High Grown (high mountain beans, referred to as HG).
