Flavor and taste characteristics of El Salvador Himalayan Coffee Manor

It is worth mentioning that the development momentum of Korean brand cafes in Kunming market is particularly strong in the past year or two. Take coffee with you as an example, it first entered the Kunming market at the end of 2012 and now has five stores. After the theme of ZOO COFFEE opened its first flagship store in the first city of South Asia at the end of last year, it also opened a second store at the end of June. According to Zhou Jinyan, head of its Yunnan district, a third Shuncheng store will be opened in August this year. In addition, coffee, Anadir and other South Korean cafes have also settled in Kunming.

Obviously, behind the entry of international brand cafes into Kunming is the huge potential of the market here. Survey data show that in 2012, the retail scale of cafes in China reached 53.84 billion yuan, and the retail scale of chain cafes exceeded 14.7 billion yuan. At present, Starbucks, which accounts for half of the domestic coffee shop industry, is also growing. According to Starbucks' second-quarter results, Starbucks' second-quarter net profit was $495 million, up 16 percent from $427 million a year earlier. " The staff of the provincial coffee industry association said, "in previous years, these cafes mainly focused on first-and second-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In recent years, in addition to competing for market share in first-tier cities, many international coffee giants have also set their sights on third-and fourth-tier cities. Yunnan Province, as the largest source of coffee raw materials in the country, still has a certain degree of acceptance of coffee; and Yunnan, as a major tourism province, gathers the flow of people from all over the country, so Yunnan has become one of the markets favored by many international coffee giants. "

Independent cafes have sprung up on the streets.

In fact, in addition to Starbucks, Man Coffee and other international brands clustered in Kunming, many entrepreneurial cafes with feelings also emerged in a while. Searching for the "coffee shop" of Kunming on Baidu map, we can see that the small thumbtacks almost cover several major business circles in Kunming at present, and there are also many cafes on the streets such as Wenlin Street and Jinding Garden, such as Salvadoran Cafe, Prague Caf é, Guangzong No. 3 Cafe, Shui Jing Cafe and other independent cafes.

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. Like other typical island beans, Salvadoran coffee is balanced, soft and good in texture.

Santa Elena Manor 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 method 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.
