Flavor and quality of coffee

El Salvador is a producer of high-quality commercial Arabica beans and is famous for its strict and effective quality control.

Since 2003, he has joined the COE competition.

With excellent ancient coffee, successfully entered the boutique coffee market.

Coffee flavor is related to the microclimate of the producing area. On the whole, Salvadoran coffee inherits the mild quality of Central American coffee. It is soft, slightly sour and has beautiful sweetness, so it is suitable for blending.

Boutique Salvadoran coffee can also be impressive, including some pacamara varieties, which show active acidity, layered and deep taste, and a long finish.

The above four coffee organizations, plus four national research institutes, constitute a coffee policy-making body--

The Salvadoran Coffee Association Consejo Salvadoreno del cafe (salvador coffee concil), which is involved in coffee promotion, data collection and international cooperation.

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 gives the coffee a deep taste and a long finish.

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 score it. It was never expected that this hybrid bean not only broke the mellow boundary of coffee, but also expanded the visibility of Salvadoran coffee.
