Introduction to the difference between the flavor and taste of Salvadoran coffee beans

Central American countries generally distinguish quality grades by altitude, such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and other countries. Similarly, El Salvador is graded by altitude.

At high altitudes, due to the cold climate and slow coffee growth, the density of raw beans will be higher, the hardness will be stronger, the unique acidity of Arabica will be better, and of course the better the quality will be.

Therefore, the higher the altitude of coffee growth, the better the flavor, on the contrary, the lower the altitude, the higher the temperature, the faster the growth rate, the lower density, the lower hardness and the worse quality of raw beans.

In El Salvador, the coffee beans rich in the Kuskabapa region are the best, slightly lighter, fragrant, 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 Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society.

Another rare coffee is Parkmara 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. The top 10 cup tests in recent years almost all come from these two producing areas, with an elevation of 9-1500 meters above sea level, mainly bourbon (68%). Followed by Pacas (29%), mixed-race Pakamara, du Laai and Kaddura accounted for only 3%
