Introduction to the overall soft and slightly sour coffee flavor of El Salvador Mercedes Manor

Old name "San Salvador","Bahia". An important natural deep-water port on Brazil's Atlantic coast, capital of Bahia. Located on the east coast of the Bay of Todos (Santos). With a population of 3,459,377 (as of August 1, 2010), it is the eighth largest city in Brazil. It is one of the oldest cities in Brazil, founded in 1549, and the first churches were built by Jesuit priests in 1549. Until 1763, Salvador was the capital of Brazil. It is a comprehensive industrial and commercial city. Nearby Kanderas oil field produces oil. Industries include petroleum refining and petrochemicals, automobiles, food, tobacco, textiles, shipbuilding and so on. Land and sea transportation is developed, and there are airports in the suburbs. The port is open and deep, capable of berthing ocean-going ships and supertankers, exporting textiles, tobacco, coffee, oil, etc. The city was built on a peninsula stretching into the Atlantic Ocean, divided into high and low cities, linked by lifts and cable cars. There are many colonial buildings and churches, as well as universities and museums. Salvador has a large number of buildings from the sixteenth century and religious buildings, many of which are decorated with sculptures from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and many of which are striped with colored mud, reflecting the characteristics of the colonial period. Its overall character is described by a forest of monuments and a consistent vision. All this suggests that El Salvador is a well-known example of a city structured to fit a colony.

There are also buildings and houses of different styles built in the next two centuries. El Salvador is an important meeting place of European, African and North American civilizations from the 16th to the 18th centuries. It is also a model for the successful transplantation of Renaissance urban buildings into colonial cities. There are more than 3000 ancient buildings distributed in the Pelonio, San Antonio and Soderay districts of the ancient city of El Salvador, among which Pelonio is the most representative of the ancient city style. Pelourinho district, it is the largest building complex built in Latin America during European colonial rule, many of which have ancient Portugal architectural style

Don't underestimate El Salvador's coffee production. In its heyday, it was the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, but decades of civil war almost brought down the coffee industry. Fortunately, the war stopped in recent years and the coffee industry recovered. The only benefit of the civil war for El Salvador was that farmers left their fields barren and could not catch up with the most popular Catimo train of cultivation in the past two decades, thus preserving the ancient bourbon and tibeka varieties. In other words, El Salvador still cultivated in the most traditional shade method, which had a positive effect on the aroma of coffee. In 2005, the Salvadoran hybrid Pacamara swaggered at the coe, leaving many international cup testers confused and wondering how to grade it. Unexpectedly, this hybrid bean not only broke the boundaries of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee.

Salvadoran fine coffee is concentrated in Santa Ana in the west and Charantan Nango volcanic rock producing areas in the northwest. In recent years, almost all of the top 10 cup tests come from these two producing areas, with an altitude of about 900-1500 meters. Bourbon is the main one (accounting for 68%), followed by Pacas (accounting for 29%), and mixed Pacamara, Duraai and Cadura only account for 3%.

The coffee harvest lasts from November to March. All are hand-picked to harvest fresh coffee.

Generally speaking, Salvadoran coffee inherits the mild quality of Central American coffee, which is soft, slightly sour and has a good sweetness. At the same time, it has its own characteristics: aromatic taste slightly sour, very soft; pure without impurities, taste balance is excellent; smooth feeling like cream chocolate is impressive; coffee in the mouth that kind of dense feeling makes coffee have a deep taste, long aftertaste
