Don't underestimate El Salvador's coffee production. In its heyday, it was the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, but decades of civil war almost brought down the coffee industry. Fortunately, the war stopped in recent years and the coffee industry recovered. The only benefit of the civil war for El Salvador was that farmers left their fields barren and could not catch up with the most popular Catimo train of cultivation in the past two decades, thus preserving the ancient bourbon and tibeka varieties. In other words, El Salvador still cultivated in the most traditional shade method, which had a positive effect on the aroma of coffee. In 2005, the Salvadoran hybrid Pacamara swaggered at the coe, leaving many international cup testers confused and wondering how to grade it. Unexpectedly, this hybrid bean not only broke the boundaries of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee.
Salvadoran fine coffee is concentrated in Santa Ana in the west and Charantan Nango volcanic rock producing areas in the northwest. In recent years, almost all of the top 10 cup tests come from these two producing areas, with an altitude of about 900-1500 meters. Bourbon is the main one (accounting for 68%), followed by Pacas (accounting for 29%), and mixed Pacamara, Duraai and Cadura only account for 3%.
The coffee harvest lasts from November to March. All are hand-picked to harvest fresh coffee.
