Last Updated: 2024/09/20, In the early 1990s, however, the Gonzalez family bought Hasunda Coffee Park. The local 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 its coffee.

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 their coffee plantation.

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 Ecuadorian government has turned the Galapagos Islands into 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 was recognized as a natural product in 1875. Ecuador's indigenous Ma Corvos has 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 coffee industry such as Saint Crst ó bal is in trouble and may end up being forced to give up growing coffee in St. Cristobal (San Cristobal) without profit. 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 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 boutique coffee (specialty coffee), also known as "specialty coffee" and "select coffee". It refers to coffee made from a small number of raw beans with excellent taste grown in an ideal geographical environment. Depending on the special soil and climatic conditions in which they grow, they have outstanding flavor. After strict selection and classification, this kind of coffee can be regarded as a selection of coffee beans because of its hard texture, rich taste and excellent flavor.
