Ecuadorian coffee is increasingly prominent in the boutique coffee industry, and although low-lying areas are unlikely to produce good coffee, higher elevations have great potential.

GALAPAGOS

The Galapagos Islands GALAPAGOS produces a small amount of coffee in the Galapagos Islands, and its supporters claim that the climate there simulates higher elevations and can grow higher-quality coffee. Coffee like this can be very expensive and does not reflect the quality in price.

Altitude: 350m

Harvest: June-September and December February varieties: bourbon

Coffee treasures from the hometown of giant turtles, which are of excellent quality and do not use any chemicals when growing.

Coffee is grown in Saint Crst ó bal. St. Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Islands) and the only one in the archipelago with plenty of fresh water. At an altitude of 410m, there is a small lake called El.Junco, where several streams flow along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island, and mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of St. Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile.

In 1875, the Ecuadorian native Ma Covos planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees at the Hasunda Coffee Garden (Hacienda El Cafetal) in San Cristobal. The elevation of the plantation is between 140m and 275m, and the climate in this area is equivalent to that of 910m to 1830 m inland. This gradient is suitable for the growth of high acidity extra hard coffee beans (SHB) and is the key to the high quality of coffee.

As the world coffee industry is moving towards a targeted mass production model, a small and uncertain coffee industry such as San Cristobal is in trouble and may eventually be forced to give up without profit.

In the early 1990s, however, the Gonzalez family bought Hasunda Coffee Park. The local microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (Humboldt Current), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 16 ℃ at 275m above sea level) provide a unique advantage, prompting the Gonzalez family to expand their coffee plantations.

Since then, the area of the coffee plantation has doubled through the reclamation of early land. Because of the unique role of the Galapagos Islands in the course of history, the Government of Ecuador has designated the Galapagos Islands as a national park and no longer allows the land to be reclaimed as new agricultural land. and the introduction and use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals are strictly prohibited, so coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural product.
