Nicaragua San Pedro Natural H3

This coffee is a small microlot from the farm San Pedro based within Santa Luz Estate in Nicaragua. Grown on the west-facing slopes in volcanic soil at the top of the collection of farms within the estate, the cherries are picked by hand as very ripe, before drying at a consistently low temperature to create the fruity characteristics.

The H3 varietal was planted here in 2015 and is a cross between Caturra and an Ethiopian landrace accession specifically suited for growing above 1300masl. The H3 was one of the first F1 hybrids, that are arising because of climate change, specifically warming. We can grow hybrid varieties in a shade without losing any part of the yield.
