National emblem of El Salvador

The national emblem is an equilateral triangle whose three yellow lines represent equality, truth and justice respectively. Five volcanoes rise between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing the five countries in Central America. The "pole of freedom" and the red "cap of freedom" stand high on the top of the mountain, emitting the light of freedom and liberation. In the golden light, September 15, 1821 is the day of El Salvador's independence, and the rainbow in the sky overflows with joy and hope. Five Central American federal flags revolve around the national emblem, expressing El Salvador's desire to reorganize the federation. At the bottom is a yellow ribbon with "God, Unity, Freedom" written in Spanish, green laurel branches and leaves around the periphery of the triangle, making the national emblem round, and the outermost golden Spanish with the country's name "Central American Salvadoran Republic".

Savanna climate. The plain area belongs to the tropical rain forest climate and the mountain area belongs to the subtropical forest climate. The average annual temperature is 25-28 ℃. The annual precipitation is more than 1800 mm in mountain areas and about 1000 mm in coastal areas. The rainy season is from May to October.

Don't 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 Pacamara boasted in coe, which confused many international cup testers and did not know how to grade it. It was never expected that this hybrid bean not only broke the mellow boundaries of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee.

El Salvador boutique coffee is concentrated in the volcanic rock producing areas of Santa Ana in the west and Charantanan 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, Dulaai and Kaddura accounted 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 makes the coffee have a deep taste, and the long aftertaste Pacamara varieties are artificially cultivated varieties of Pacas and Maragogipe. It was first cultivated by researchers in El Salvador in 1958. Pacamara is an excellent variety under rare artificial breeding, which is better than blue, and perfectly inherits the advantages of the mother plant. Both the excellent taste of Pacas and the large size of Maragogipe are inherited by raw bean granules. The bean body is at least 70% and 80% of that of elephant beans, with more than 17 orders and more than 100% and more than 18 eyes. Average bean length 1.03 cm (general bean about 0.8-0.85 cm) average bean width 0.71 cm (general bean about 0.6-0.65), thickness 0.37 cm, bean shape plump and round. The biggest feature of this variety is that it is sour, lively and tricky, sometimes biscuit, sometimes fruity, thick and greasy. The quality is the best from El Salvador and Guatemala.
