Hakkında
Santa Ana encompasses the slopes around Central America's highest active volcano and the historic Finca El Carmen, where the Pacas mutation of Bourbon was first discovered in 1949. The department's long history of quality-focused estate production has maintained El Salvador's reputation in specialty markets through decades of political and economic upheaval. Santa Ana coffees display classic El Salvadoran character with balanced acidity, medium body, and warm flavors of caramel, toasted almond, and mild citrus. The region's shade-grown tradition under native trees preserves biodiversity and soil quality. Santa Ana serves as an important gateway for specialty buyers seeking consistent, well-processed Central American lots.
