Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of El Salvador boutique coffee manor with balanced taste

The ancient city of El Salvador was one of the main centers of the slave trade in Africa during the colonial period. In 1558, the first African slaves arrived here and engaged in sugar cane cultivation. Until the middle of the eighteenth century, the port of El Salvador became the main trading center of Portugal; it was located on the triangular trade route between Africa, Brazil and Europe. Many European immigrants settled in this city.

In the 17th century, when Portugal was still under Spanish rule, El Salvador was often attacked by the Dutch. In order to defend the city, many fortresses were built. In 1625, the city was again ruled by the Portuguese.

The ancient city, built on a peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean, occupies the end of a mountainous island and is divided into cities by a steep slope.

And the cities below (upper and lower cities) can be reached by elevator or climb on foot. The city wall preserved along the steep slope is arched. The upper city overlooks the activities of the people in the city below. The uptown has baroque buildings and many small squares, public buildings, dwellings and gardens. They are simple and elegant and keep better than the lower city. The streets here are numerous and narrow, with a variety of patterns on the road, paved with black and white stones; downtown, there is the Modrow market near the port, where houses and people's activities are carried out around the port and commerce, where the slave trade was once very popular, and now it is an extremely bustling handicraft market.

Salvadoran coffee ranks side by side with Mexico and Guatemala as the producers of Asa and Merdo, and is fighting for the top one or two places in China and the United States with other countries. The highlands of origin are large coffee beans of all sizes, which are fragrant and mild in taste. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee. It is divided into three grades according to elevation: SHB (strictlyhighgrown) = highlands, HEC (highgrowncentral) = mid-highlands, and CS (centralstandard) = lowlands. The best brand is Pipil, which is what the Aztec-Mayan (Aztec-Mayan) called coffee, and it has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica) for its flavor: balanced taste and good texture.

Characteristics of taste: sour, bitter, sweet mild and moderate the government finally realized the great role of coffee in the national economy, such as solving employment, earning foreign exchange and developing agricultural production, and so on, so it privatized some coffee export industries in 1990, hoping to increase the income rate of coffee in the export market.

Today, this coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee was exported from January to March, and 35% of the extra hard beans were exported to Germany in the early 1990s. Guerrilla warfare greatly damaged the country's national economy, reducing coffee production from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991. The eastern part of the country was most affected by guerrilla warfare, and many farmers and workers were forced to leave the manor. The shortage of funds has led to a sharp drop in coffee production, from 1200 kg per hectare in the past to less than 900kg per hectare today.

In addition, the government imposed an additional 15% tariff on exported coffee in 1986, that is, an additional 15% in addition to the existing 30% tax. Taxes, together with unfavorable exchange rates, greatly reduce the export of coffee and the quality of coffee.
