El Salvador, known as the "land of volcanoes", the smallest country in Central America, has a greater reputation than life in the boutique coffee-growing area. It is conceivable that the quality of beans from here will not be too bad!

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 (strictly high grown) = highlands, HEC (high grown central) = mid-highlands, and CS (central standard) = lowlands. The best brand is Pipil, the Aztec-Mayan name for coffee, which has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society (Organic Certified lnstitut eof America) that Salvadoran coffee is a specialty of Central America, where it is light, aromatic, pure and slightly sour.

Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pipil, which is what the Azbec-Mayan (AztecMayan) called coffee, which has been approved by the American Organic Certification Society (Organic Certified Institute of America).

Another rare coffee is Pacamara, a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogype. The best place to produce the coffee is in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala.

Pacamara is the artificial breeding variety 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. Don't underestimate El Salvador's coffee production with the best quality from El Salvador and Guatemala. 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.
