South American Galapagos Islands coffee beans have the characteristics of high acidity extra hard coffee beans (SHB).

Galapagos Islands

Coffee is grown in San Cristobal (Saint)

Crst ó bal). St. Cristobal is the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos)

Islands) is the larger island and the only one of 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.

In 1875, the indigenous uel of Ecuador (Ma Corvos)

J.Cobos) at the Hasunda Cafe Park in San Cristobal (Hacienda El)

Cafetal) planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees. 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 like St. 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. Humboldt current (Humboldt

The local microclimate caused by Current), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 10: 16 ℃ at 275m above sea level) provided advantageous conditions that prompted 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.
