El Salvador
El Salvador first began producing coffee in the 19th century and today this unique coffee bean ranks as 11th in worldwide coffee production. An important national product, coffee growing employs close to 135,000 people directly and involves almost 20,000 coffee producers, 65% of whom are small and medium farms of under 120 hectares.
Occupying almost 12% of the country, coffee growing plantations are found within an altitude range of 500-1800 meters above sea level, largely within the western and central provinces of Santa Ana, Ahuachapán, Sonsonate and La Libertad. There are also plantations in the eastern part of the country, which are mostly located in San Miguel and Usulutan. Salvadoran coffee typically is characterized by a number of unique features, including: a medium to full body, a bright acidity, a sweet and fruity aroma and a citrusy flavor.
