The Volcanic Origins of El Salvador Coffee

El Salvador has numerous volcanoes within its territory and is known as the "Land of Volcanoes." The fertile volcanic soil provides an excellent source of nutrients for coffee beans. Coffee trees are planted at altitudes of 1,000-1,200 meters, where the cool and suitable temperatures create the perfect geographical environment for cultivating Arabica coffee.

Finca Romania Estate Heritage

El Salvador coffee beans come from Finca Romania Estate in El Congo, Ana Province. This estate was inherited by Rosa Mena de Lima from her father and has been certified as an organic estate for the past decade, having also obtained certifications from the Rainforest Alliance and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. Finca Romania Estate employs diverse canopy shade cultivation, including bitter melon, cypress, cedar, mahogany, and walnut trees. It also enjoys an ideal microclimate because the coffee is grown in the Apaneca mountain range, making it one of the most prestigious coffee-growing regions in the country.

Coffee Bean Characteristics

El Salvador coffee beans are medium-sized, uniform, and full-bodied. The first impression upon tasting is their excellent sweetness and extremely rich chocolate flavor. During the tasting process, you can occasionally detect the unique smoky wood aroma emitted by the coffee, with a rich fragrance and lingering aftertaste—making it a coffee worth savoring repeatedly.

High-Altitude Cultivation

Coming from estates in the western highlands of El Salvador at altitudes above 1,200 meters, the pure, pollution-free growing environment nurtures high-quality coffee beans. The coffee variety is Bourbon, and the use of black honey processing further enhances the coffee's natural sweetness. The entire highland forest is filled with various species that provide rich and complete nutrients to each coffee tree, resulting in a flavor profile with clean black chocolate sweet aroma.
