Variety: Chateau Bourbon Santa Elena is located in Santa Ana Volcano, a volcano-producing area in the west of El Salvador. Due to volcanoes, the soil of the manor is very rich in organic matter. The average elevation of the manor is about 1850 meters and the terrain is steep. It is one of the highest estates in the area. At present, the owner of the manor is run by Mr. Don Fernando Lima. Mr. Fernando's idea is to try to maintain the original traditional planting in El Salvador. In addition to the necessary pruning and irrigation outside the garden to maintain a wide range of natural agroforestry ecology, more than 90% of the manor planted bourbon varieties, while Fernando also uses modern agricultural management techniques to divide the manor into different blocks to closely monitor and record the soil quality, fertilization and coffee trees. In addition to excellent planting, St. Elena Manor also has its own coffee washing treatment facilities. for farmers with water washing stations, in addition to avoiding price exploitation to outsiders, the best thing is that they can deal with the coffee red fruits collected from carefully selected plants more rigorously. Fernando is very strict in the process of washing treatment, in addition to regularly recording the temperature and humidity of the day. More attention should be paid to the treatment of coffee and raw beans in the fermentation tank.
