Introduction to the coffee flavor and taste of Santa Cruz Manor in Ecuador with a hint of flowers and fruits.

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. It provides the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.

In 1875, 340 years after Frey Thomas de Belanga discovered the island, an indigenous man named Corvus came to St. Cristobal, where he established the Hasunda Coffee Garden and planted about 100 hectares of Arabian bourbon coffee trees. Because the plantation is located between 140m ~ 275m above sea level and the climate is equivalent to that of inland 915m ~ 1830 m, the unique geographical conditions are very suitable for the growth of super hard coffee beans (SHB) with high acidity, so this high-quality coffee has settled down here.

As coffee is consumed by people all over the world, the world coffee industry is also moving towards mass production, while St. Cristobal, a small and unreliable coffee industry, 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 localized microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 10 ℃ to 16 ℃ above sea level) provided advantageous conditions that prompted the Gonzalez family to expand their coffee plantation. By reclaiming the early land, the Gonzalez family doubled the size of the coffee plantation.

Ecuadorian coffee exports fell for the third year in a row. In recent years, the Latin American coffee industry has been plagued by coffee leaf rust (CoffeeRoya), and Ecuador has not been spared. Since 2012, coffee bean exports have lost a total of US $20 million, with exports of US $28.8 million, US $14.8 million and US $9.7 million respectively in the first five months of the past three years, with an annual decline of 30-40 per cent. The export value of coffee products made from coffee beans was US $61 million in the first five months of 2012, increased to US $78.6 million in the same period of 2013, and fell to US $61.5 million this year, returning to 2012 levels in Ecuadorian coffee. some are espresso made from Ecuadorian alpine beans, which come from mountains about 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level, with aromas and sweetness of fruit, grass and chocolate There are plenty of mint grass from the Amazon on the basis of this espresso. Some add the Ecuadorian rose petals called "Rolls in the Rose" to the espresso. The coffee beans produced in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands are organic coffee beans. Thanks to the unique ecological environment such as volcanic soil and microclimate, coupled with its lack of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is recognized as a natural green boutique coffee. This naturally grown coffee tastes mild, with a hint of flowers and fruit and caramel. It is understood that the Galapagos Islands are about 1000 kilometers away from the mainland of Ecuador and are located at the confluence of the eastern Pacific Ocean and the three major ocean currents. In 1978, the Galapagos Islands was declared a "World Natural Heritage site" by UNESCO. The archipelago is known as the "living Museum of Biological Evolution" and "the melting pot of marine life." Darwin's theory of evolution was inspired by the Galapagos Islands, where most countries in the world produce only one kind of coffee beans. Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world that can produce both Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. The Ecuadorian Coffee tasting, sponsored by the Consulate of Ecuador in Guangzhou, was recently held at the Art Cafe in the Guangdong Provincial Museum.

Organic beans, flowers and fruits, caramel smell to the nostrils

According to Ms. Malena, Consul General of the Consulate General of Ecuador in Guangzhou, Ecuador is located in South America, and the equatorial line runs through the country, so it is also known as the "equatorial country". Its superior geographical location, fertile soil and special climatic conditions create a superior natural environment for coffee bean cultivation.
