COSTA RICA FINCA SEBASTIAN

Explore the tasting notes of a single origin specialty coffee sourced from Costa Rica freshly roasted in our coffee lab, at Meron Roastery. Here is some cool info about the coffee and the farm.

 

About the farm/farmer

Located in Llano Bonito of Naranjo, the farm has been recognized for its Specialty Coffee Production. The plantation has 100% F1 Hybrid variety plants, which has allowed to develop specific processes during the drying period in order to maximise the natural flavours of the bean.​

 

About the coffee

The Excelencia Varietal is a crossbreed between Caturra and Ethiopian landrace. It has very good cup quality at elevations above 1300 meters and is well-adapted to agroforestry conditions.

F1 Hybrid varieties are created by crossing genetically distinct parents (for example, a wild Ethiopian variety x Caturra). The offspring of the cross are first-generation (F1) hybrids. F1 Hybrids are notable because they tend to:

1. Have significantly higher production than non-hybrids.
2. Maintain high cup quality ideal for the specialty coffee market.
3. Are disease resistant (need significantly less agrochemicals)

F-1 hybrids are the hope for a sustainable future in the coffee industry!
