Santa Cruz still grows coffee varieties introduced by French agronomists in 1875, so the coffee is more than 130 years old. And these old coffee trees have now become one of the special symbols of Santa Cruz coffee. The laws of the Galapagos Islands prohibit the use of chemicals and pesticides on the island, so the Santa Cruz estate produces organic coffee.

I was startled by his appearance when I got the bean. The size and defect rate of raw beans are comparable to those of Sigri Manor in Papua New Guinea and Hilltop Farm in Australia. In 1869, Mr. Manuel Coppos, the first owner of the Galapagos Islands, hoped to find a crop suitable for growing on his farm. He invited a team of French agronomists to visit the area, and finally they planted Arabica coffee trees on the Galapagos Islands for the first time. However, after several trials and tribulations, coffee cultivation in the Galapagos Islands was completely abandoned in 1915. In a twinkling of an eye, in 1990, the Gonzalez family, the current owner of Santa Cruz, discovered the abandoned farm and reached an agreement with the owner at the time to begin rebuilding the coffee plantation.

Today, almost all the Galapagos Islands coffee on the market comes from the third largest island of the Galapagos Islands in San Crist ó bal Island. Santa Cruz Manor Coffee, as its name implies, comes from the second largest island, Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Island). Santa Cruz Island is located in the center of the Galapagos Islands. It is said that this geographical location will form a unique microclimate, so some people think that Santa Cruz Island coffee is sweeter and more fragrant than other Galapagos Islands coffee.
