This lovely H1 is produced by the well-esteemed Fincas Mierisch at their farm La Huella. In the words of the very own Erwin Mierisch, you can get to know the lot in more detail below:
"H1, or Centroamericano, is a relatively new hybrid varietal developed in Central America that was released in 2010. It’s a cross between a Sudan Rume and a specific strain of Sarchimor. This makes H1 resistant to coffee leaf rust and highly productive (about 22 - 47% more productive than traditional varieties such as Caturra). Besides these agricultural benefits, the variety performs extremely well cup quality wise as well. H1 is highly demanding nutritionally but it starts producing fairly quickly (we obtained our first harvest the second year it was planted in the field). Currently, we only have H1 growing on our farm La Huella, but after the fantastic results this year we will absolute be looking to plant more of it. This variety has already garnered success in Cup of Excellence Nicaragua (earning a producer 2nd place in 2017). Following the success we have had with this varietal we have decided to plant more of it on our farms Limoncillo and La Huella.
All our processes begin at the farm by only selecting optimally blood red, ripe cherries. These are floated and then carefully depulped using the least amount of water as possible. After depulping, it dry fermented in fermentation tanks for 36 hours. We prefer the dry fermentation method because of water conservation purposes, it also helps remove the mucilage quicker. Post fermentation, the parchment is washed using clean water then transported to our dry mill.
