Introduction to the characteristics of coffee flavor and taste varieties in Hasunda Coffee Garden

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 people talk about this coffee here. 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. Through the reclamation of the early land, the Gonzalez family doubled the area of the coffee plantation. After entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes was divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a plateau high in the north and low in the south. The average elevation is between 2500 meters and 3000 meters. 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. In August 1978, the famous Cotopaxi volcano, the Chinese cargo ship Jialing River arrived here for the first time. Most of the import and export goods of the two countries are the Ecuadorian national emblem transshipped through Guayaquil. Ecuador's national emblem was launched in 1900, similar to the national emblem of Colombia. A ferocious "American Condor" vulture stands above the national emblem. It is the national bird of Ecuador, symbolizing sovereignty and independence. The design of Ecuador's national emblem is unique, which fully shows the amorous feelings of the country: the snow-capped Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak, stands towering on the banks of the Pacific Ocean against the blue sky, with verdant trees at the foot of the mountain. a large river winds out from the depths of the mountains and gradually merges into the blue sea. The earliest steam ocean-going ship of South America, which Ecuadorians are proud of, is moored at the mouth of the sea.
