El Salvador is a tiny country with many volcanoes. Volcanic ash makes soil very fertile, so it is no surprise that despite it’s size, El Salvador is the fourth biggest coffee exporter in the world.
Los Chelazos is a blend of coffees from two main cantons: Citalá and La Palma, both of these are part of the Montecristo Trifinio, a tri-border national park shared between El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Designated as a biosphere reserve in 2011, this is a protected area of incredibly rich bio-diversity.
