Hacienda Legrand is a farm located in the province of Santa Elena (Ecuador). Denise's family has a long tradition in the production of Robusta coffee (Canephora) and now they have dedicated themselves to the production of Robusta hybrids with genetic diversification, which is crucial for the production of fine Robustas such as their new variety Ecurobusta.
Hacienda Legrand has been working since 2007 in the search for the best Robusta coffee materials in Ecuador, investigating every aspect of this genetic material and its importance for the environment.
One of the biggest challenges for Legrand's producers has been to demonstrate that the Santa Elena Peninsula has a great potential for Robusta coffee under the conditions of being close to the sea.With their hybrid varieties of Ecuadorian Ecurobusta, they have positioned themselves in international markets and have demonstrated that in the country there is a differentiated coffee with traceability, with added values, and that it has the best fine robusta coffees.
