Introduction to the flavor and taste of fine coffee beans in Santa Cruz Manor Coffee Variety producing area of Ecuador

The Republic of Ecuador is located in northwestern South America. It is bordered by Colombia in the northeast, Peru in the southeast and the Pacific Ocean in the west. It covers an area of 256370 square kilometers and the coastline is about 930km long. The equator runs across the north of the border, and Ecuador means "equator" in Spanish. The Cologne Islands (Galapagos Islands) is located in the Pacific Ocean, about 900km east from the continental coast, an area of 7800 square kilometers, including 7 large islands and about 70 small islands, all composed of volcanic cones and volcanic lava. Guayaquil is Ecuador's largest city, the main port along the Pacific coast, located in the country.

The right bank of the Guayas River in Guayaquil Bay in the southwest is known as the "coastal pearl of the Pacific Ocean". Guayaquil, the largest industrial and commercial city in Eritrea, is also the largest coastal port city in Eritrea, with a population of 2.6 million Ecuador (English: The Republic of Ecuador; Spanish: La Rep ú blica de Ecuador) referred to as Ecuador. It means "equator" in Spanish. They are also called "Equator country" and "Banana country".

When Thomas and the 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. 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.
