San Cristóbal – full body

Vee’s Galapagos San Cristóbal is a certified organic coffee, bird friendly grown under the shade of a forest pavilion at Hacienda El Cafetal. The estate is located on San Cristóbal Island, one of the largest of the 61 islands in the Galapagos archipelago. San Cristóbal is the only island that enjoys an abundance of fresh spring water. Small rivulets fed up by the humid soil of El Junco, a volcanic crater lake, flow gently down the rocky slopes on the island’s sun drenched southern side. This minerally rich spring water keeps the rich volcanic soil moist and fertile, bringing life to the island. The misty interior and sea currents like the warm of Panamá, the cold of Humboldt, enhance the vegetal diversity of this unique island. The actual elevation of the island varies between 300 m – 750 m above sea level, which is equivalent to 900 m – 2,100 m on the mainland of Ecuador. Hacienda El Cafetal has been cultivating Arabica Bourbon coffee since 1875 when imported from Guatemala. However, the estate was abandoned in 1915 and the plants left unattended until 1990 when the Gonzalez family took over the estate and began the renewal process. Unbelievably, the coffee today is produced from the same original heirloom plants planted in 1875! The conditions on the island are so perfect that the plants just keep rejuvenating themselves year after year. Amazing, but true, and if you think about it, doesn't anything seem possible from an area that hosts both penguins and cactuses! Today, this 1,000 acre estate is an ecological sanctuary and UNESCO Patrimony of Humanity site as a sustainable resource of the islands' people. The coffee ripens under the shade of other trees such as avocados, guavas, oranges, and towering cedar trees. All stages in the entire coffee cycle from cultivation to processing follow strict environmental regulations ensuring the continued protection of this precious ecosystem. Regulated by local law, there are only 5,000 bags allowed for worldwide exportation each year from Hacienda El Cafetal. Vee’s is very excited to have a direct trade relationship with this rare and exquisite organic shade grown coffee from the most unique coffee growing region in the world, perfectly suitable for a deep roast. Vee‘s 'San Cristóbal' is medium- to full-bodied with very balanced fruity acidity of mango and papaya, notes of spice and nuts and with an overtone of bittersweet chocolate.
