Last Updated: 2024/11/08, In 1875, the Ecuadorian native Ma Covos planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees at the Hasunda Coffee Garden (Hacienda El Cafetal) in San Cristobal. 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 very suitable for super hard coffee with high acidity.

In 1875, the Ecuadorian native Ma Covos planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees at the Hasunda Coffee Garden (Hacienda El Cafetal) in San Cristobal. 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. The localized microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (Humboldt Current), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 10: 16 ℃ at 275m above sea level) provide a unique advantage, prompting the Gonzalez family to expand the coffee plantation, a coffee treasure of excellent quality and without the use of any chemicals when growing.

Coffee is grown in Saint Crst ó bal. 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 elevation of 410m above sea level, there is a small lake called El.Junco. Several streams flow along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of St. Cristobal, making the soil moist and fertile forever.
