Coffee Information
This coffee is a varietal you might have heard of - or maybe you haven’t. Either way, it’s one worth paying attention to. Sometimes misunderstood, Centroamericano H1 is actually one of the more exciting developments in coffee breeding, offering resilience for farmers and the potential for exceptional cup quality when grown in the right place.
To give it its full name, Centroamericano H1 F1 Hybrid is a Sarchimor. The Catimors and Sarchimors are a huge group of coffee varietals created from crossing Arabica varietals with the Timor Hybrid - a naturally occurring hybrid of Arabica and Robusta discovered nearly 100 years ago in Timor. In the case of Centroamericano H1, its parents are T5296 (a Timor Hybrid crossed with Villa Sarchi) and Rume Sudan, an Ethiopian landrace. The Timor gives this group its “imor” suffix, while the beginning of the name comes from the plant it was crossed with (here, Villa Sarchi). Though technically a Sarchimor, globally these kinds of varieties are often collectively referred to as Catimors.
Breeding & Background
Centroamericano H1 is part of a new generation of F1 hybrids, developed through collaboration between CIRAD (France), CATIE (Costa Rica), PROMECAFE, World Coffee Research, and other partners. After years of trials, it was officially released to farmers in Central America around 2010, with the goal of combining high yields, disease resistance, and excellent cup quality.
