Introduction to the planting Environment of Coffee Flavor varieties in Santa Cruz Manor

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. A cup of Galapagos coffee, like the beautiful scenery of the Galapagos Islands, is sure to impress you.

In the mid-15th century, there were legends about enchanted mysterious islands among fishermen fishing in the western Pacific Ocean of South America. It is said that the islands can sometimes be seen clearly from a distance, but when the ship approaches, it disappears again; sometimes it looks like a galleon, sometimes it shows the shape of a witch. Fishermen call these islands "Devil Island", thinking that they may be ruled by demons like the sea banshees in the Odyssey. The island, which fishermen call "Magic Island", is now the Galapagos Islands.

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 they had to starve, including the horses on board. Ecuador is the highest Arabian 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 the land suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee trees in Ecuador is gradually decreasing, Galapagos Coffee is even more valuable in its enthusiasm for introducing Ecuadorian boutique coffee to Chinese consumers, so that the Ecuadorian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Pro Ecuador) and the welcoming Research Institute (InkaLab Coffee) have decided to jointly organize this cultural experience event of Ecuadorian boutique coffee. The purpose of this event is to raise Chinese consumers' awareness of Ecuadorian coffee and related food culture, so as to play a positive role in promoting the future sales of Ecuadorian coffee in the Chinese market.

Mr. Diego Vega, Chief Commercial Officer of Ecuador's Export and Investment Promotion Agency, and CEO Erika Wang of Yingcai Institute attended the event and introduced Ecuador's diversified coffee producing areas, such as Loja, Imbabura, Zamora, Vilcabamba and Galapagos.
