San Juanillo H10 Natural

About This Coffee

This stunning natural processed microlot comes from the Milenio (H10) varietal grown on San Juanillo. This hybrid varietal was created by bringing together Sarchimor and Ethiopian Sudan Rume. It has a unique flavour profile with distinctive fruity, floral notes from the Ethiopian varietal. Tomas Gutierrez and Allan Vargas bought the farm in 2007 intending to regenerate the landscape, and soil and plant new and exciting varietals. The farm was originally planted with Caturra and Catuai trees. Tomas and Allan were keen to try out new varietals that showed better resistance to disease and those that show interesting cup character. They now grow a range of varietals including Marsellesa, H1 Centroamericano, Caturra, Catuaí and a small amount of Geisha. In 2018 they purchased their neighbours' farm increasing their total farm size to 12 hectares, and they are Rainforest Alliance certified. In 2015 they placed 19th in the Cup of Excellence competition with a coffee from their H1 hybrid varietal.
