Renas Manor in the Santa Ana Volcano region of El Salvador in the north of Central America

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.

The topography here is mainly mountainous and plateau, with many volcanoes. Savanna climate. The plain area belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the mountain area belongs to the subtropical forest climate. The average annual temperature is 25-28 ℃, and the annual precipitation is more than 1800 mm in mountainous areas and about 1000 mm in coastal areas. It is rich in water resources, short and swift rivers and volcanic lakes.

El Salvador's coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports, and it is usually picked in November, December and January-March of the following year. The export of raw beans lasts almost all year round. Coffee is produced in seven of the country's 14 provinces, with the largest number in the northwestern provinces of chalatenango and santa ana. El Salvador produces 100% Arabica coffee, 68% of which is bourbon, which usually grows at an altitude of 1062 Mel 1972 meters. 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.

Central American countries generally distinguish quality grades by altitude, such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and other countries. Similarly, El Salvador is graded by altitude. At high altitudes, due to the cold climate and slow coffee growth, the density of raw beans will be higher, the hardness will be stronger, the unique acidity of Arabica will be better, and of course the better the quality will be. Therefore, the higher the altitude of coffee growth, the better the flavor, on the contrary, the lower the altitude, the higher the temperature, the faster the growth rate, the lower density, the lower hardness and the worse quality of raw beans.
