Origins
Ecuador is not one of the world's largest coffee producers, yet the annual harvest from the slopes of the Andes is considered by coffee lovers to be of very high quality.
The first area where coffee trees were planted is Jipijapa in Manabí province. This was in 1860. 40 years later, the world market saw a decline in Ecuadorian coffee exports, but production rose again in the 1980s. According to official government figures, around 150,000 hectares of land were set aside for coffee growing in the equatorial country in 2012. The ratio of Arabica to Robusta is balanced. The most frequent destinations for coffee from Ecuador are Russia, Poland, Germany, Colombia, Italy and the Netherlands.
To produce instant coffee that keeps all of its original flavor and aroma, we opted for a process known as freeze-drying. It involves the classic treatment of the coffee berries (peeling, drying, roasting). The coffee is brewed in a ratio of 70% arabica and 30% robusta and a large proportion is left to evaporate. The coffee concentrate then needs to be frozen at -40⁰C. The resulting mass goes to the grinding plant. In special machines with reduced air pressure, the coffee mass is de-iced by sublimation. The resulting coffee crystals can be packaged directly.
When freeze-dried coffee comes into contact with water, it dissolves very easily. This is why instant coffees are extremely popular. They have been on the market since 1937, when Nestlé introduced them. During and just after the Second World War, there was a boom in instant coffee.
Benefits of coffee
Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
Instructions for preparation
For best experience use a 90ml cup.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of coffee and cover with boiled water cooled down to 90°C. Using boiling water may negatively affect taste.
Always use fresh, clean water.
