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 qualities of Central American coffee, which is soft, slightly sour and has a good sweetness.

El Salvador, located in the northwest of Central America and bordering the Pacific Ocean in the south, is one of the birthplaces of ancient Mayan civilization. The volcanoes, plateaus, lakes and bathing beaches along the Pacific coast are all very pleasant. But El Salvador is best known for its unique, mild-tasting coffee.

El Salvador is one of the small countries of Central America and has a very dense population. People love coffee here. Salvadoran coffee tastes well balanced. Salvadoran coffee exports account for 40 per cent of national exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March each year, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany. In the early 1990s, El Salvador's national economy was greatly damaged or even destroyed due to the impact of war. Coffee production dropped from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990 - 1991.

In El Salvador, Cusca Bappa produces the finest coffee beans, which are slightly lighter in weight, aromatic, pure and slightly acidic. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, with the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society. Another rare coffee is Pakmara coffee, a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Malagojipi coffee, best grown in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, near the border with Guatemala. Pakmara coffee is full of particles, but not too strong
