El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, is colloquially referred to as the ‘Land of Volcanoes’. Renowned for producing exceptional coffees with great clarity and sweetness. The coffee industry first took off after their primary crop, indigo, declined with the invention of chemical dyes in the 19th Century.
One of the great strengths of El Salvadoran coffee, it’s extensive use of Bourbon varietals, is also one of it’s key weaknesses. Unfortunately, these varieties are highly susceptible to a whole host of diseases.
We don’t have anything from El Salvador available right now, sorry.
