In 1990, the Gonzalez family purchased the Hacienda El Cafetal plantation.
The Galapagos Islands enjoy a unique microclimate on the planet. The Humboldt Current, the intense equatorial sun, and the dramatic climate change that occurs with increasing altitude are examples of the components that contribute to this very distinctive microclimate.
Small rivers fed by El Junco (a volcanic crater lake) flow gently down the rocky slopes on the south side of the island. This mineral-rich spring water keeps the volcanic soil moist and fertile, making it ideal for growing coffee.
The coffee trees on the Hacienda El Cafetal plantation are organically grown and benefit from the island's exceptional microclimate. The coffee beans are hand-picked, sun-dried, and then washed.
Today, we are fortunate to offer you this truly remarkable coffee thanks to the dedication and hard work of the Gonzalez family.
Cup Notes:The coffee is characterized firstly by its very pronounced aroma, its rich body, its smoothness as well as its light touch of fruity notes.
