A brief introduction to the history and culture of the origin and development of Galapagos boutique coffee beans with balanced acidity

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 discovered a small island in the Galapagos Islands on March 10. 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.

St. Cristobal is a larger island in the Galapagos Islands (Galapagos Islands) and the only one of the archipelago with plenty of fresh water. At an altitude of 410m, there is a small lake called El.Junco, which forms streams along the rocks and volcanic rocks on the southern slope of the island, and mineral-rich fresh water moistens the land of St. Cristobal, keeping the soil moist and fertile. The local microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 degrees at sea level and 10-16 degrees above sea level) provide unique advantages for coffee producing areas in the Galapagos Islands:

Coffee is grown in San Cristobal (SaintCristobal). Arab bourbon coffee trees are planted in the Hasunda Coffee Garden (HaciendaElCafetal) in San Cristobal. The plantation is between 140 and 275 meters above sea level, and the climate in this area is equivalent to that of 915-1830 meters inland. This gradient is very suitable for the growth of high acidity extra hard coffee beans (SHB). It is also the key to the high quality of coffee. In 1875, Ecuador's native ManuelJ.Cobos began to grow Arabian bourbon coffee trees in the Hasunda Coffee Park (HaciendaElCafetal) in San Cristobal.

Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica and Robbins. 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 (Chanchamgo Valley). The Andes are divided into two mountains, extending from south to north to central Ecuador.
