Description of Coffee Flavor in Santa Cruz Manor, Ecuador; introduction to the characteristics of the production area of grinding degree and baking degree

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 on March 10, they discovered a small island in the Galapagos Islands. 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. The water ran out quickly and they had to starve, including the horses on the boat without grass.

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.

Because of the unique role of the Galapagos Islands in the course of history, the Government of Ecuador has designated the Galapagos Islands as a national park, the land is no longer allowed to be reclaimed as new agricultural land, and the introduction and use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals are strictly prohibited, so coffee produced in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural product.
