Introduction to the varieties of coffee flavor and taste in Hassanda Coffee Garden of Ecuador

1. I slept in the old city of Quito, went out after ten o'clock and drove to the old city. There are people selling water, fruit and juggling at every intersection. The scenery along the way is very beautiful, and the car touches the city view. I took some street pictures in the car: you can see the distant mountains in the city. This is the central bank of Ecuador, not our style. Taken by mobile phone, the imaging effect is terrible, but you can imagine the colorful feeling (blink) with a very obvious colonial style of architecture. Miguel drove around two old towns, and all the parking lots showed full. What wants to park by the side of the road? Haha, it's impossible, because the road in the old city is soy sauce aunt: you drive a SUV and block the road! Although it is a una via (one-way street), it is properly in the way when it is stopped at random. So we had to drive back to our residence and decided to take the bus. Anyway, it was not very far. By the way, we had a bus experience in Ecuador. Like the bus stationmaster, there is a ticket office at the entrance. Tickets are sold manually for 25 cents each. You can take a seat when you are waiting for the bus. Take the ticket, although there is no conductor on the bus. To tell you the truth, the bus is really crowded, not inferior to the morning rush hour of Beijing bus, wipe off sweat. There is a granny on the bus who asks everyone to donate money. Although no one pays for it, some have a cordial conversation with the granny.

Between Colombia and Peru, Ecuador, which passes through the equator, is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and robastian coffee.

In fact, Ecuador means "equator" in Spanish. Due to the use of old-fashioned traditional harvesting and handling methods, Ecuadorian coffee is not listed as a boutique coffee, so it is generally rarely seen.

Ecuador faces the Pacific Ocean, and near the equator, about 900km off its west coast, near the equator at 90 degrees west longitude, there is also a dependency of the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Island), also known as Cologne, which produces the famous Galapagos coffee. In order to protect the natural ecology, the Ecuadorian government has designated the archipelago as a national park and banned the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, so coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as organic coffee.

Galapagos Islands coffee flavor is more balanced and neutral, moderately mellow, with a little obvious but pleasant acidity, with a special aroma. However, because it is rarely seen on the market, not many Arabian coffee trees were first introduced to Ecuador in 1952, and the 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 (ExtraSuperior) 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 aroma. Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica coffee and Robbins coffee. 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 (ChanchamgoValley), which is divided into two mountains, extending from south to north to central Ecuador.
