CENTROAMERICANO VARIETY
is a remarkable Arabica variety, carefully developed in Central America by CATIE University to combine exceptional cup quality with natural resilience.
This hybrid, a crossbreed between Sarchimor (T5296) and Rume Sudan, was designed to resist leaf rust while thriving at higher altitudes, allowing farmers to cultivate it sustainably. In the cup,
Centroamericano shines with a bright, clean profile, revealing notes of tropical fruit, honey sweetness, and lively citrus acidity, balanced by a gentle body.
