A coffee from one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. The Galápagos Islands enjoy a one-of-a-kind microclimate shaped by the Humboldt Current, intense equatorial sun and dramatic climate shifts as altitude rises. Small rivers fed by “El Junco”, a volcanic crater lake, flow down the rocky southern slopes of the island, keeping the volcanic soil moist, fertile and mineral-rich, ideal terroir for coffee.
Since 1990, the Gonzalez family has farmed the Hacienda El Cafetal plantation organically. The Bourbon-cultivar beans are hand-picked, sun-dried and then washed. In the cup: a very pronounced aroma, rich body, lovely smoothness and a light touch of fruity notes. A truly remarkable coffee, born of one family's dedication and hard work.
