A brief introduction to the history and culture of the origin and development of Ecuadorian boutique coffee beans with balanced and refreshing taste

But Thomas will never know that the island they landed on is the only island in the Galapagos that has plenty of fresh water. It is today's Saint Cristobal, a well-known South American brand, Ecuadorian A-grade coffee, with a large state-run value garden. Produced from the natural vegetation belt of 1300-2000 meters highland, it is popular in Europe and America, and we can taste the exquisite world-class Arabica Arabica flavor at supermarket prices.

ES Coffee is a clean organic coffee grown on the slopes of the Andes in Latin America. It is 100% pure coffee, and the quality of our coffee has been guaranteed and improved by working to improve the economic and working conditions of the plantation, while maintaining the small scale of the coffee plantation and the biodiversity in the hospital. In addition, it is one of the very important economic sources of coffee origin, because it is all dried and packaged locally, which ensures that it is a very unique kind of coffee in the world! At the same time, it also ensures its unique taste. 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.

Ecuador is divided into the western coast, the central mountains, the eastern Amazon River basin and the four central regions of the Galapagos Islands, with diverse climatic conditions.

The western coastal plain belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, with an average temperature of 23-25 ℃.

The central Andes. The intermountain basin in this area belongs to the savanna climate, and the mountain belongs to the subtropical forest climate, with perennial snow above 4000 meters above sea level. The average annual precipitation is about 1000 mm, the rainy season is from December to June, and the dry season is from July to November.

The eastern Amazon. Belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, the whole year is humid, hot and rainy, the annual average precipitation is between 2000 mm and 3000 mm.

Topography and geomorphology

The country is divided into three parts: the western coast, the central mountainous region and the eastern region.

West coast: including coastal plains and foothills, high in the east and low in the west, generally below 200 meters above sea level, with some hills and low mountains at an altitude of 600 to 700 meters. Belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, the southernmost end begins to transition to the savanna climate. The average annual precipitation decreases from more than 3000 mm to about 500mm from north to south.

Central mountain: after entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes is divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a plateau high in the north and low in the south, averaging between 2500 and 3000 meters above sea level. The Andes run through the middle of the border. The ridges crisscross, dividing the plateau into more than ten intermountain basins. The most important are the Quito basin and the Cuenca basin in the south. There are many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes in the territory. The famous Kotopaxi volcano, 5897 meters above sea level, is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Chimborazo Mountain in central Ecuador, 6262 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. It is 6384.1 kilometers from the center of the earth to the top of the mountain. Mount Chimborazo, located in the West Cordillera in the Andes, has long been mistaken for the highest peak in the Andes. It is a dormant volcano with many craters and glaciers at the top of the mountain, about 4694 meters above, covered with snow all the year round.

Eastern region: part of the Amazon River basin. The foothills of the foothills with an altitude of 1200 to 250 meters above sea level are rapid. below 250 meters are alluvial plains. The river is open, the current is gentle, and there are many rivers.

Located in the Pacific Ocean, the Cologne Islands (Galapagos Islands) is more than 900km east from the continental coast and covers an area of 7800 square kilometers. it includes seven large islands and about 70 small islands, all composed of volcanic cones and lava. [3]

The minerals are mainly oil, mainly distributed in Guayaquil Bay, and oil fields are also found in the Amazon Plain. Gold and silver are distributed in Machaki and Saluma and other places. Copper is made in Machaki. There are sulfur mines in the Cologne Islands. In addition, there is iron, lead and so on. Forest area accounts for about 68% of the national area, mostly distributed in the eastern region, rich in valuable wood, such as mahogany and balsam (or Balsa wood). The coast is rich in tuna and shrimp. Giant turtles and giant lizards on Cologne Island. [3]

The country is divided into 24 provinces, with 215 cities under the province.

The names of the provinces are as follows: Piccha, Asuai, Boliwar, Caniar, Karch, Codoto Paxi, Chimborazo, El Oro, Esmeraldas, Guayas, Inbabula, Loha, Los Rios, Manawi, Zamora-Admiri, Nabo, Morona-Santiago, Pastasa, Tungurava, Galapagos, Sugumbios and Francisco de Orellana

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. And this island, which fishermen call "Magic Island", is today's Galapagos Islands. When Thomas and his 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. Provide the most rare conditions for the growth of coffee here.

Central mountain: after entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes is divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a plateau high in the north and low in the south, averaging between 2500 and 3000 meters above sea level. The Andes run through the middle of the border. The ridges crisscross, dividing the plateau into more than ten intermountain basins. The most important are the Quito basin and the Cuenca basin in the south. There are many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes in the territory. The famous Kotopaxi volcano, 5897 meters above sea level, is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Chimborazo Mountain in central Ecuador, 6262 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. It is 6384.1 kilometers from the center of the earth to the top of the mountain. Mount Chimborazo, located in the West Cordillera in the Andes, has long been mistaken for the highest peak in the Andes. It is a dormant volcano with many craters and glaciers at the top of the mountain, which is more than 4694 meters. Port Guayaquil is the largest seaport in Ecuador. It faces the Pacific Ocean and backs against Mount Santa Ana. The nearby island of Pune serves as a natural barrier to protect the harbour from storms. There is a wharf in the south, which is more than 900 meters long. Ships from different parts of the world flying various flags are moored in the harbor. The port railway leads to the capital Quito, and highways connect Quito with other cities in the country. Bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton and other products from all over the country are collected and distributed here. Guayaquil has also played an important role in the history of friendly exchanges between the peoples of China and Ecuador. As early as the 18th century, Chinese clothing, textiles and other goods were shipped to Ecuadorian cities through Guayaquil. In August 1978, the Chinese cargo ship Jialing River arrived here for the first time. Most of the import and export goods of the two countries are the Ecuadorian national emblem transshipped through Guayaquil. Ecuador's national emblem was launched in 1900, similar to the national emblem of Colombia. A ferocious "American Condor" vulture stands above the national emblem. It is the national bird of Ecuador, symbolizing sovereignty and independence. The design of Ecuador's national emblem is unique, which fully shows the amorous feelings of the country: the snow-capped Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak, stands towering on the banks of the Pacific Ocean against the blue sky, with verdant trees at the foot of the mountain. a large river winds out from the depths of the mountains and gradually merges into the blue sea. The earliest steam ocean-going ship in South America, which Ecuadorians are proud of, is moored at the mouth of the sea. Above the snowy peak, the May Sun, a symbol of Mayan culture, shines brightly. The "twelve officials of the zodiac" marked with the months of March, April, May and June on both sides of the sun represent the difficult years of the Ecuadorian people defending their country against foreign invasions in 1845. The bar at the bottom represents the state institutions of the Republic and symbolizes justice and authority.
