Qianjie-introduction to the growing conditions of coffee in El Salvador

The Republic of El Salvador (The Republic of El Salvador), or El Salvador for short, is the smallest country in Central America, but a country smaller than our Hainan Province has an indispensable place in the coffee world.

Mountainous, plateau-based, multi-volcanic, known as the "country of volcanoes", Santa Ana active volcano 2385m above sea level, is the highest peak in the country

Active volcanic activity has brought mineral-rich volcanic ash, large temperature differences between mountains and plateaus and abundant rainfall have created extremely favorable natural conditions for coffee cultivation in El Salvador.

Climate: tropical climate, annual average temperature 28 ℃. The annual precipitation in the mountainous areas is more than 1800 mm, and the climate is cool; the climate in the coastal and lowlands is hot and humid, with rainfall of about 1000 mm.

Varieties: iron pickup, Bourbon, Pacas Pacas (bourbon mutant), Pakamara Pacamara (hybrid of Pacas pacas and "elephant bean" Maragogype)

El Salvador has famous and ancient coffee trees and a single planting of different varieties of coffee trees, which distinguishes El Salvador from other coffee-growing countries. (many countries will plant some disease-resistant, easy-to-survive coffee trees or other hybrid coffee species to increase yield and reduce risk.)

Monoculture coffee trees are susceptible to leaf rust, especially bourbon, whose cold tolerance is not strong enough to fight the disease, and both Pacas and Pakamara inherit from bourbon. Coffee prefers mild climate. In order to avoid excessive temperature and direct sun exposure affecting the quality of coffee beans, coffee trees in El Salvador are mostly planted in tall shade (shade grown coffee).

Flavor: hierarchical and complex, with bright floral aromas and sour aromas of ripe fruit, with a tail of nuts and cream and chocolate

Palate: balanced taste, sour, sweet, bitter and moderate

Knowledge: first cultivated by researchers in El Salvador in 1958. Pacamara is a rare excellent variety under artificial breeding.
