Introduction to coffee flavor and taste of coffee producing area in Hasunda Coffee Garden, Ecuador

Located in the middle of 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, including 7 large islands and about 70 small islands, all of which are composed of volcanic cones and volcanic lava, mainly in the Guayaquil Bay. 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. The port of Guayaquil, a giant turtle and lizard on Cologne Island, is the largest seaport in Ecuador. It faces the Pacific Ocean and backs against Mount Santa Ana. The nearby island of Pune serves as a natural barrier to protect the harbour from storms. There is a wharf in the south, which is more than 900 meters long. Ships from different parts of the world flying various flags are moored in the harbor. The port railway leads to the capital Quito, and highways connect Quito with other cities in the country. Bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton and other products from all over the country are collected and distributed here. Guayaquil has also played an important role in the history of friendly exchanges between the peoples of China and Ecuador. As early as the 18th century, Chinese clothing, textiles and other goods were shipped to Ecuadorian cities through Guayaquil. In August 1978, the Chinese cargo ship Jialing River arrived here for the first time. Most of the import and export goods of the two countries are transhipped through Guayaquil.

The Arabian Coffee Tree was first introduced to Ecuador (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 (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 divides into two series of mountains, extending from south to north to central Ecuador. The best Ecuadorian coffee is grown on the island of St. Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands and has the natural geography unique to brewing 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. And this island, which fishermen call "Magic Island", is today's Galapagos Islands. When Thomas and his crew landed on the island, they were frantically looking for water and 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.
