THE EXCELENCIA VARIETY
The Excelencia Varietal is a cross breed between Caturra and Ethiopian landrace. It has very good cup quality at elevations above 1300 meters and well-adapted to agroforestery conditions.
This Hybrid is known as H3 in the catalog of World Coffee Research:
https://varieties.worldcoffeeresearch.org/varieties/h3
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!
