Organic beans, flowers and fruits, caramel smell to the nostrils

According to Ms. Malena, Consul General of the Consulate General of Ecuador in Guangzhou, Ecuador is located in South America, and the equatorial line runs through the country, so it is also known as the "equatorial country". Its superior geographical location, fertile soil and special climatic conditions create a superior natural environment for coffee bean cultivation.

The coffee beans produced in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands are organic coffee beans, thanks to the unique ecological environment such as volcanic soil and microclimate, coupled with the fact that they do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides, they are recognized as natural green boutique coffee. this naturally grown coffee has a mild taste with a hint of flowers and fruit and caramel. It is understood that the Galapagos Islands are about 1000 kilometers away from the mainland of Ecuador and are located at the confluence of the eastern Pacific Ocean and the three major ocean currents. In 1978, the Galapagos Islands was declared a "World Natural Heritage site" by UNESCO. The archipelago is known as the "living Museum of Biological Evolution" and "the melting pot of marine life", and Darwin's theory of evolution was inspired by the Galapagos Islands.

Mr. Veniso, champion of the 2014 Ecuadorian Coffee Competition, told reporters that some of the Ecuadorian coffee is espresso made from Ecuadorian alpine coffee beans. This coffee comes from a mountain area about 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level and has a mellow taste with aromas and sweetness of fruit, grass and chocolate. Some add mint grass from the Amazon to this espresso. Some add Ecuadorian rose petals called "Rolls-Royce in roses" to espresso for amazing taste.
