The coffee harvest lasts from November to March. The fresh fruit of coffee is picked by hand.

On the whole, Salvadoran coffee inherits the mild quality of Sino-American coffee, which is soft, slightly sour and has beautiful sweetness. It was first cultivated by researchers in El Salvador in 1958. Average bean length 1.03 cm (general bean about 0.8-0.85 cm) average bean width 0.71 cm (general bean about 0.6-0.65), thickness 0.37 cm, bean shape plump and round. The biggest feature of this variety is that it is sour, lively and tricky, sometimes biscuit, sometimes fruity, thick and greasy. The quality is the best from El Salvador and Guatemala.
