Ecuador

Population: 15,224,000

Ecuadorian coffee is becoming increasingly prominent in the specialty coffee industry. Although the low-lying areas are unlikely to produce good coffee, the higher altitude regions have great potential.

GALAPAGOS

The Galapagos Islands produce small quantities of coffee, and its supporters claim that the climate there simulates higher altitudes, allowing for the cultivation of higher quality coffee. Coffee like this can be very expensive, and the price may not always reflect the quality.

Altitude: 350m

Harvest: June~September and December~February

Varieties: Bourbon

Located between Colombia and Peru in South America, Ecuador has a considerable history of coffee cultivation.

Loja Region

The Loja region is in southern Ecuador, adjacent to the Andes Mountains, and is one of the highest coffee-growing regions in the world, with elevations of 1450-2000 meters. It is also the country's important coffee export city. The coffee bean varieties are Typica, processed using the washed method, and mostly grown under natural shade cultivation. The local high altitude, climate variations, and soil quality are all very suitable for coffee growth, possessing many excellent conditions for coffee cultivation.

Galapagos Islands

Located in the waters of Ecuador, South America, directly below the equator, the Galapagos Islands are a mysterious and enchanting archipelago. Many endemic species found only here inhabit the Galapagos Islands, which have been declared by UNESCO as a "World Cultural and Natural Heritage."

Therefore, laws strictly prohibit the import or use of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or all other chemical products.

Certified by OCIA and Rainforest Bird Protection as an organic shade-grown environment, combined with the islands' unique climatology, this creates aromatic and rich, full-bodied coffee.

Galapagos coffee is like a pearl in specialty coffee - rare and precious, possessing both floral aromas and mellow, full-bodied flavor. Its floral and fruit-like sweetness and aftertaste are completely comparable to the famous Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona coffees.
