Coffee in the Galapagos Islands

In 1875, ManuelJ.Cobos, an indigenous Ecuadorian, began to grow Arabic bourbon coffee trees in the Hasunda Coffee Garden (HaciendaElCafetal) in San Cristobal.

Coffee producing areas of the Galapagos Islands:

Coffee is grown in San Cristobal (SaintCristobal). Arab bourbon coffee trees are planted in the Hasunda Coffee Garden (HaciendaElCafetal) in San Cristobal. The elevation of the plantation is between 140 and 275m, and the climate of the area is equivalent to that of 915m 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.

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, which forms streams 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. The local microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 degrees at sea level and 10-16 degrees above sea level at 275m) provide unique advantages.
