Its taste is very interesting, a little sour and bitter, coupled with aromas and sweetness of fruit, grass and chocolate, Ecuadorian alpine coffee is a very good choice for making ESPRESSO and drip coffee, because you can taste its strong taste.

Historical folklore

The best Ecuadorian coffee is grown on St. Cristobal Island in the Galapagos Islands, which has the unique natural geographical conditions for giving birth to the best quality coffee in the world. A cup of Galapagos coffee, like the beautiful scenery of the Galapagos Islands, is sure to impress you.

In 1535, Frey Thomas de Belanga of Spain and others stumbled upon the Galapagos Islands. In 1875, 340 years after his discovery of the island, a native named Kovos came to St. Cristobal Island, where he established the Hasunda Coffee Garden and planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees. Because the plantation is located between 140m ~ 275m above sea level and the climate is equivalent to that of inland 915m ~ 1830 m, the unique geographical conditions are very suitable for the growth of super hard coffee beans (SHB) with high acidity, so this high-quality coffee has settled down here.

As coffee is consumed by people all over the world, the world coffee industry is also moving towards mass production, while St. Cristobal, a small and unreliable coffee industry, is in trouble and is likely to be forced to give up without profit. It wasn't until the early 1990s that the Gonzalez family bought Hasunda Coffee Park. The localized microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 10 ℃ to 16 ℃ above sea level) provided advantageous conditions that prompted the Gonzalez family to expand their coffee plantation. By reclaiming the early land, the Gonzalez family doubled the size of the coffee plantation.

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, the land is no longer allowed 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 produced in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural product.

Tasting method

Drinking Ecuadorian coffee is best after breakfast and lunch, because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, break down high-calorie, high-fat foods eaten, and will not cause irritation to the stomach like drinking coffee on an empty stomach. It's best not to drink coffee after dinner, for fear it will affect your sleep. If you want to stay up all night by drinking coffee, you may drink too much without knowing it, which is bad for your health.
