El Salvador

Despite being the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador boasts some of the world’s most coveted coffee varieties, thriving in the best volcanic soils and embodying unparalleled coffee genetics. Emerging from years of civil conflict, the country has managed to increase production of specialty coffee. A focus on quality has sculpted Salvadoran coffees, acclaimed for their sweet and complex flavour profile, embellished with notes of fruit, dark sugar, chocolate and caramel. El Salvador has strongly embraced agroforestry and today has a reputation for 95% shade-grown coffee, one of the highest in the world. The Salvadoran commitment to excellence resonates throughout its history in specialty coffee, a story of resilience and unwavering dedication.
