Introduction to the fragrant Ecuadorian Coffee Flavor and the Fine Coffee in the Manor area

Ecuador is divided into the western coast, the central mountains, the eastern Amazon River basin and the four central regions of the Galapagos Islands, with diverse climatic conditions.

The western coastal plain belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, with an average temperature of 23-25 ℃.

The central Andes. The intermountain basin in this area belongs to the savanna climate, and the mountain belongs to the subtropical forest climate, with perennial snow above 4000 meters above sea level. The average annual precipitation is about 1000 mm, the rainy season is from December to June, and the dry season is from July to November.

The eastern Amazon. Belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, the whole year is humid, hot and rainy, the annual average precipitation is between 2000 mm and 3000 mm.

Topography and geomorphology

The country is divided into three parts: the western coast, the central mountainous region and the eastern region.

West coast: including coastal plains and foothills, high in the east and low in the west, generally below 200 meters above sea level, with some hills and low mountains at an altitude of 600 to 700 meters. Belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, the southernmost end begins to transition to the savanna climate. The average annual precipitation decreases from more than 3000 mm to about 500mm from north to south.

In 1535, Frey Thomas de Belanga of Spain and others stumbled upon the Galapagos Islands. Thomas was born in 1487 on the Douro River in the province of Soria, Spain, and was the fourth bishop of Panama at that time. He was ordered to go to Peru. When his ship set sail from Panama on February 23, under the impact of a strong current, they were taken to the unknown sea and discovered a small island in the Galapagos Islands on March 10. At that time, there were only two days of fresh water left on the ship, and the sailors landed in lifeboats and found a large number of seals, sea turtles, giant tortoises that could carry people, and iguanas that looked like venomous snakes, but they did not find fresh water, so they sailed to another larger island more than 20 kilometers away. As there was still no wind, it took them several days to get there, and the water ran out quickly and had to starve, including no grass for the horses on board. St. Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos archipelago, where there is a small lake called El.Junco 410m above sea level, where several streams flow along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of San Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile forever. It provides the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here. As coffee is drunk by people all over the world, the world coffee industry is also moving towards a mass production model, while a coffee industry like St. Cristobal, which is small in scale and of uncertain quality, is in trouble and is likely to be forced to give up without profit. It wasn't until the early 1990s that the Gonzalez family bought Hasunda Coffee Park. The Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent) causes localized microclimate, strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (sea level temperature is 43 ℃, elevation 275m Ecuador is the highest Arabica coffee plantation in the world. Since the coffee tree was first introduced into Ecuador in 1875, the quality of its coffee has remained unchanged for 100 years, especially the coffee harvested in early June every year, which is called "the best coffee in the world". Ecuadorian coffee beans are divided into Galapagos and Segante, both of which have large particles and heavy weight. In particular, the unique geographical conditions of the Galapagos Islands give coffee beans excellent genes that are superior to those of other producing areas, and its high quality comes from the absence of any chemical agents when growing. As Ecuador's land suitable for Arabica coffee trees is gradually decreasing, the Galapagos coffee's more precious temperature of 10 ℃ ~ 16 ℃) provides a unique advantage, prompting the Gonzalez family to expand their coffee plantations. By reclaiming the early land, the Gonzalez family doubled the area of the coffee plantation.
