You can go to a Cooperative called Los Pinos, it's near of Coatepeque Lake and it has a beautiful view sight, you can buy coffee there and a native coffee variety is pacamara

El Salvador produces only Arabica coffee. The main varieties found are Bourbón, which comprises 68% of the total area of coffee grown in the country, Pacas (a Salvadoran variety from a natural Bourbon mutation), which represents 29% and the remaining 3% includes Pacamara (resulting Salvadoran hybrid Of the cross between Pacas and Maragogipe, with excellent properties of cup).

Hola Jacek, hay muchas cooperativas de café que puedes visitar en el salvador, entre ellas la cooperativa la majada, los pinos, ataisi, las cooperativas las lajas y comasagua (producen cafe orgánico ), ellas exportan café , existen muchas variedades cómo te mencionaron el borbón de 900-1200 msnm se da muy bien y pacas 500-900 msnm, de ellos dos salio el pacámara que se cultiva de 1000-1400 msnm estas variedades tienen muy buena taza de excelencia, lamentablemente son muy susceptibles a la roya, y por tal razón lo están cambiando a cuscatleco un híbrido resistente a la roya, trabaje en el área de café de mi pais y talvez te pueda ayudar. Saludos!
