Boutique coffee from the Santa Ana volcano area west of El Salvador.

Santa Elena Manor is located in Santa Ana Volcano, a volcanic area in the west of El Salvador. Due to the volcano, the soil of the manor contains very rich organic matter. The average altitude of the manor is about 1,850 meters and the terrain is steep. It is one of the highest manors in the local area. At present, the manor is mainly managed by Don Fernando Lima. Mr. Fernando's philosophy is to maintain the original traditional planting method of El Salvador as much as possible. In addition to the necessary pruning and irrigation, the garden maintains a large range of natural agroforestry ecology, more than 90% of the estate is planted with bourbon varieties, and Fernando uses modern agricultural management techniques to divide the estate into different areas to closely monitor and record the soil, fertilizer and coffee trees. In addition to excellent planting, Santa Elena Manor also has its own coffee washing facilities. For farmers with washing stations, in addition to avoiding price exploitation for outsiders to handle, the best thing is to treat the carefully selected coffee red fruits more rigorously. Fernando is very strict about the washing process. In addition to regularly recording the temperature and humidity of the day, it is also necessary to pay attention to the processing of coffee beans in the fermentation tank.
