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. At the same time, it also has its own characteristics: the aromatic taste is slightly sour and very soft; it is pure and has no miscellaneous flavor, and the taste balance is excellent; the smooth feeling like cream chocolate is impressive; the dense feeling of coffee in the mouth makes the coffee have a deep taste, and the long finish should not underestimate the coffee production of El Salvador. In its heyday, it was once the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, but decades of civil war almost dragged down the coffee industry. fortunately, the war has stopped in recent years, and the coffee industry has come back to life. The only benefit that the civil war brought to the Salvadoran country was that the farmers' fields were barren and failed to catch up with the most popular Katimo exposure train in the past two decades, thus preserving the ancient varieties of bourbon and Tibica, that is to say, El Salvador still uses the most traditional shade planting, which is of positive significance to the aroma of coffee. In 2005, the Salvadoran mixed-race Pacamara boasted in coe, which confused many international cup testers and did not know how to score it. They never expected that this hybrid bean not only broke the mellow boundaries of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee. The coffee beans rich in Cuscarpa are the best, slightly lighter, fragrant, pure and slightly sour. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society. Another rare coffee is Parkmara, a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Marago Rippi coffee, best produced in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkmara coffee is full-grained, but the aroma is not very strong. El Salvador is one of the small countries in Central America with a very dense population. People here love coffee. The coffee in El Salvador tastes well balanced. Salvadoran coffee exports account for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March each year, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany. In the early 1990s, due to the impact of war, the national economy of El Salvador was greatly damaged, even destroyed. Reduced the output of coffee from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991.
