Flavor description of Ecuadorian Coffee Variety producing area taste characteristics introduction of high-quality coffee beans

Ecuador is located in the northwest of South America. It borders Colombia to the northeast, Peru to the southeast and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It has an area of 256370 square kilometers and a coastline of about 930 kilometers. Equator across the northern border, Ecuador is Spanish "equator" means the western coast: including coastal plains and foothills, east high west low, generally below 200 meters above sea level, there are some hills and low mountains 600~700 meters above sea level. Tropical rain forest climate, the southernmost start to transition to a savanna climate. The annual average precipitation decreases from more than 3000 mm to about 500 mm from north to south. The minerals are mainly oil, mainly distributed in the Gulf of Guayaquil. Oil fields are also found in the Amazon Plain. Gold and silver are distributed in Machachi and Saruma. Copper is produced in Machachi. There are sulfur mines on the cologne islands. In addition, there are iron, lead and so on. Forest covers about 68% of the country's area, mostly in the eastern region, rich in valuable wood, such as redwood and balsa wood (or balsa wood). The coast teems with tuna and shrimp. Colon is home to giant turtles and lizards.

In 1535, the Galapagos Islands were discovered by chance by Frei Thomas de Berlanga of Spain and others. Thomas was born in 1487 on the banks of the Duro River in the Spanish province of Soria. He was the fourth bishop of Panama at that time. He was ordered to Peru. When his ship set out from Panama on February 23, under the impact of a strong current, they were carried to an unknown sea in the outer ocean. On March 10, an island in the Galapagos Islands was discovered. With only two days of fresh water left on board, the sailors landed in lifeboats and found plenty of seals, turtles, giant tortoises that could carry people and viper-like iguanas on the island, but they could not find fresh water, so they headed for another larger island more than 20 kilometers away. As there was still no wind, it took them days to get there, the water ran out quickly, and they had to starve, including the horses on board.

When Thomas and his crew landed on the island, they frantically searched for water and were so thirsty that they squeezed juice from the fat leaves of cacti to drink. Finally found water in a ravine in a rock. Thomas attributed it to God because it was Good Friday and they had celebrated Mass piously before setting out in search of water. Thomas would never have known, however, that the island they landed on was the only one in the Galapagos with plenty of fresh water, today Saint Cristobal.

San Cristobal is a large island in the Galapagos Archipelago. At an altitude of 410 meters, there is a small lake called El Junco. The lake forms several streams flowing along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Fresh water rich in minerals nourishes the land of San Cristobal, making the soil here always moist and fertile. It provides the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.

In 1875, 340 years after Frey Thomas de Berlanga discovered the island, an indigenous man named Cobos arrived on San Cristobal Island, where he established the Hasenda Coffee Plantation and planted about 100 hectares of arabic bourbon trees. Because the plantation is located between 140 meters and 275 meters above sea level, the climate is equivalent to the inland climate between 915 meters and 1830 meters, and the unique geographical conditions are suitable for the growth of super hard coffee beans (SHB) with high acidity, so this high quality coffee is settled here.
