Galapagos Islands Coffee-San Cristobal Coffee production area

Galapagos coffee origin:

Coffee is grown in Saint Cristobal. Arabica bourbon trees are grown in Hacienda El Cafetal in San Cristobal. The altitude of the plantation is between 140 and 275 meters, and the climate of the region is equivalent to that of 915-1830 meters inland. This gradient is very suitable for the growth of very hard coffee beans (SHB) with high acidity and is also the key to the quality of coffee.

San Cristobal is one of the larger islands in the Galapagos Islands and the only island in the archipelago with sufficient fresh water. At 410 metres above sea level, there is a small lake called El.Junco, whose waters form streams that flow along the rocks and volcanic rocks of the southern slope of the island. Fresh water rich in minerals nourishes the soil of San Cristobal, keeping it permanently moist and fertile. Local microclimates caused by the Humboldt Current, intense equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature variations (43 ° C at sea level and 10-16 ° C at 275 m above sea level) provide unique advantages.
