Introduction to the flavor and taste of Ecuadorian coffee manor with a unique flavor

Central mountain: after entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes is divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a plateau high in the north and low in the south, averaging between 2500 and 3000 meters above sea level. The Andes run through the middle of the border. The ridges crisscross, dividing the plateau into more than ten intermountain basins. The most important are the Quito basin and the Cuenca basin in the south. There are many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes in the territory. The famous Kotopaxi volcano, 5897 meters above sea level, is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Chimborazo Mountain in central Ecuador, 6262 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. It is 6384.1 kilometers from the center of the earth to the top of the mountain. Mount Chimborazo, located in the West Cordillera in the Andes, has long been mistaken for the highest peak in the Andes. It is a dormant volcano with many craters and glaciers at the top of the mountain, about 4694 meters above, covered with snow all the year round.

Eastern region: part of the Amazon River basin. The foothills of the foothills with an altitude of 1200 to 250 meters above sea level are rapid. below 250 meters are alluvial plains. The river is open, the current is gentle, and there are many rivers.

Located in the Pacific Ocean, the Cologne Islands (Galapagos Islands) is more than 900km east from the continental coast and covers an area of 7800 square kilometers. it includes seven large islands and about 70 small islands, all composed of volcanic cones and lava. [3]

Resources

The minerals are mainly oil, mainly distributed in Guayaquil Bay, and oil fields are also found in the Amazon Plain. Gold and silver are distributed in Machaki and Saluma and other places. Copper is made in Machaki. There are sulfur mines in the Cologne Islands. In addition, there is iron, lead and so on. Forest area accounts for about 68% of the national area, mostly distributed in the eastern region, rich in valuable wood, such as mahogany and balsam (or Balsa wood). The coast is rich in tuna and shrimp. Giant turtles and giant lizards on Cologne Island

The Arabian Coffee Tree was first introduced to Ecuador in 1952 and its coffee is of good quality, especially the coffee harvested in early June. Ecuadorian coffee beans can be divided into two varieties: Galapagos and Gigante, both of which have the characteristics of large granules and heavy weight. Ecuadorian coffee can be divided into first class (No.1) and super excellent (Extra Superior) according to its quality. They are mainly exported to the Nordic countries of Scandinavia.

The main problem facing coffee producers is their efforts to maintain stable quality. The coffee here is generally well-balanced and refreshing, with a unique flavor.

Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and Robbins. However, as the land suitable for Arabica coffee trees is decreasing, the production of Robbins coffee is gradually increasing. The best Arabica coffee comes from the Andes, especially the Chanchagu Valley (Chanchamgo Valley). The Andes are divided into two mountains, extending from south to north to central Ecuador.

Flavor: balanced acidity and fragrance

Suggested roasting method: medium to deep roasting, can be made into high-quality mixed coffee, suitable for a variety of uses when Thomas and the crew landed on the island, frantically looking for water, they were so thirsty that they squeezed juice from the fat leaves of the cactus to drink. At last a source of water was found in a rocky gully. Thomas attributed it to the gift of God, because it was good Friday, and they had piously celebrated mass before they set out in search of water. But Thomas will never know that the island they landed on is the only island in the Galapagos archipelago that has plenty of fresh water, today's St. Cristobal Island (Saint Cristobal).

St. Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos archipelago. At 410m above sea level, there is a small lake called El.Junco, which forms streams along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of St. Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile. Provide the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.
