Last Updated: 2024/09/20, In 1875, 340 years after Frei Thomas de Berlanga discovered the island, an indigenous man named Cobos arrived on San Cristobal Island, where he established the Hassenda 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 climate between 915 meters and 1830 meters inland.

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.

Because of the unique role of the Galapagos Islands in the course of history, the Ecuadorian government has designated the Galapagos Islands as a national park, and 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.

Creative coffee made from Ecuadorian coffee beans with unique flavor is also popular with consumers. Mr. Veniso, the champion of the 2014 Ecuador Coffee Competition, won the Ecuador Coffee Competition with his creative formula. One espresso has a fresh and unique taste with mint grass from the Amazon, while the other adds "Rolls-Royce in the Rose" Ecuadorian rose petals that are so fragrant that coffee lovers can't stop talking about Ecuadorian coffee, so they have to mention the organic coffee in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos Islands, a famous tourist attraction, has been declared as a "World Natural Heritage" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It is extremely rich in products, and organic coffee is one of the unique ones. With its unique ecological environment such as fertile volcanic soil and microclimate, coupled with its cultivation without any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, organic coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as a natural green boutique coffee. This naturally grown coffee tastes mild, with a hint of grass, flowers and caramel, and is highly sought after by businessmen and coffee lovers. Ecuador is located in South America, and the equatorial line runs through the country. Ecuador is also known as the "equatorial country". Ecuador's superior geographical location, fertile soil and special climatic conditions have created a superior natural environment for coffee cultivation in the country. Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world that can produce both Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. San Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos archipelago. At 410m above sea level, there is a small lake called El.Junco, which forms several streams that flow along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island. Mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of San Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile forever. It provides the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.
