Formerly known as "San Salvador" and "Bahia". An important natural deep-water port on the Atlantic coast of Brazil, the capital of Bahia state. It is located on the east bank of Todos (Santos) Bay. With a population of 3459377 (as of August 1, 2010), it is the eighth largest city in Brazil. The ancient city, one of the oldest cities in Brazil, was founded in 1549, and the first churches were built by Jesuit priests in 1549. El Salvador was the capital of Brazil until 1763. It is a comprehensive industrial and commercial city. Oil is produced in the nearby Kandyas oil field.

The port is open and deep, can berth ocean-going ships and super oil tankers, and export textiles, tobacco, coffee, oil and so on. The urban area is built on a peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean, divided into high and low cities, with lifts and cable cars connected. Multi-colonial buildings and churches, as well as universities and museums. The seaside has beautiful scenery and is a tourist attraction.

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 Society for Organic Certification (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica) not to underestimate El Salvador's coffee production. 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 variety 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 boundary of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee. El Salvador boutique coffee is concentrated in the volcanic areas of Santa Ana in the west and Charantan fruit in the northwest. In recent years, the top 10 cup tests are almost entirely from these two producing areas, with an altitude of about 9-1500 meters, mainly bourbon (68%), followed by Pacas (29%), mixed-race Pakamara, Durai and Kaddura account for only 3%.

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 gives the coffee a deep taste and a long finish.
