Ecuador, which passes through the equator between Colombia and Peru, is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and Robasta coffee.

Ecuador actually means "equator" in Spanish. Due to the use of old-fashioned traditional harvesting and processing methods, Ecuadorian coffee is not listed as fine coffee and is therefore generally less visible.

Ecuador faces the Pacific Ocean, about 900 kilometers off its west coast near the equator at 90 degrees west longitude, there is a Galapagos Island (Galapagos Island) is also its territory, also known as Colón Island, producing the famous Galapagos coffee. In order to protect the natural ecology, the Ecuadorian government has designated the archipelago as a national park, and banned the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, so the coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as organic coffee.

Galapagos coffee is balanced and neutral, with a medium body, a distinct but pleasant acidity, and a distinctive aroma. However, because it is rarely seen in the market, not many people talk about this coffee.
