Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica coffee and Robbins coffee. The best Ecuadorian coffee is grown on St. Cristobal Island in the Galapagos Islands, which has the unique natural geographical conditions for giving birth to the best quality coffee in the world. Although the island is at a low altitude, it is specially affected by the sea, but the climate in this area is equivalent to 1 to 1800 meters inland, which is very suitable for the growth of coffee. On the other hand, there is a small lake 410 meters above sea level on St. Cristobal Island, where several streams flow 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 forever, providing rare conditions for the growth of coffee. At the same time, as the Ecuadorian government has turned the Galapagos Islands into a national park, it is no longer allowed to reclaim new agricultural land, but also forbids the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. Therefore, coffee from the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural green product.
