In 1875, Mr Manuel Cobos, one of the first landowners in the Galapagos Islands, began to cultivate Arabica Typica, and continued up to 1915. It was rediscovered in 1990 by the Gonzalez family, the current owners of the Santa Cruz Estate, which undertook a process of renovation.The Santa Cruz Estate, as the name indicates, is situated in Santa Cruz, the second largest island of the Galapagos, at an altitude of 375 meters (which in view of its particular geographical position is actually equivalent to 1150 meters).Compared to other coffees from these islands, Santa Cruz Estate Coffee is sweeter and has a richer aroma. The reason it has better flavor is the result of the special microclimate due to its position in the archipelago, and the use of the same coffee plants right up to today, introduced by the French agronomists in 1875.Declared a “Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO, Santa Cruz Estate Coffee is also an organic coffee.The pure and balanced ecosystem of the island contributes to the exceptional flavor of this coffee. |
