Flavor description of Salvadoran coffee beans introduction to manors in producing areas

Coffee fields are endless, and most of them are harvested by machinery, which is in line with economic benefits. When 75% of the coffee fruit in the coffee garden turns red, mechanical harvesting is started, followed by the same pre-washing operation, which is moved into the sink to remove floating beans, sift out the sunken beans, and then use a large pulp screening machine to dig out the pulp and remove the pods covered with pectin. The next stage is separate from the washing method: the sticky pods do not need to be moved into the tank to ferment, but to the outdoor bean drying farm. Because of the dry climate in Brazil, the sticky pectin on the pods will harden in about a day or so. Then use a large number of manpower to turn up and down, so that the pods dry evenly inside and outside, so as not to return to moisture and stink. For about two to three days, with the help of the natural forces of sunlight and dry climate, the pods can achieve a certain degree of dehydration. Then further dry with a dryer, the water content is reduced to 10.5%, and the pods are stored in a special container for about 10 days to further mature, in order to stabilize the quality, remove the sheepskin (pods) before export, remove the coffee beans, and pack them in grades.

In the 19th century, coffee in El Salvador was an important cash crop, and the government legislated to collect taxes and encourage planting and export. although coffee farmers in El Salvador could not get technical or financial assistance, they were in the growth of production per hectare, it is quite excellent among many coffee-producing countries! The output value of coffee is like a locomotive, which contributes a lot to the basic transportation construction, the development of light industry and even the progress of mechanization.

The country has 10 per cent forest cover, of which more than 80 per cent is natural shaded woodland, which is ideal for the planting of coffee trees (shade grown coffee), which is very important for the Central American ecological corridor (Central American Biological Corridor). But in 1970, there was a serious coffee leaf rust spot (coffee leaf rust disease). In order to expose coffee trees to the sun, many shade trees were cut down! This has caused a lot of environmental damage! But the civil war has also formed a turning point for the environment!

The civil war in 1980 caused government forces and guerrillas to deal a blow to the coffee industry, as well as natural disasters

And the sharp drop in international raw bean prices between 1986 and 1987 have had a negative impact on the coffee industry. in fact, 80 years ago, the foreign exchange earned by coffee also assisted the country's clothing industry and contributed to the Ministry of Light Industry.

And the marketing and export controlled by the government is even more disadvantageous to the whole industry! In the first year of the establishment of Incaf'e, coffee production fell from 175000 tons in 1979 to 141000 tons in 1986, of course, as a direct result of producers' reluctance to invest again; Incaf'e not only charged 50% of the export price of raw beans but also often delayed payment! Natural disasters and man-made disasters have led to good opportunities for organic planting. Of course, producers also realize that good coffee can have a good price. With both substance and environmental protection, sa coffee has a good start!.
