Varietal is a term generally used in the wine industry to describe a wine made from a specific variety of grape (example: Shiraz or Merlot); these varietals give the wine a particular taste and profile, and this also happens in the coffee. This particular H1 hybrid is an incredible coffee, which has been carefully red honey processed on the estate to accentuate it's distinct character. Pache colis - Pache colis was found in Mataquescuintla, Guatemala in a farm consisting of Caturra and Pache comum.

Centroamericano has also proven to have exceptional cup quality potential when well-managed at high altitudes. Coffee hybrids aren’t about to replace traditional varieties and cultivars. As a hybrid of the famed Sudan Rume varietal, combined with a research varietal derived from a Sarchimore, this coffee posses both the delicate floral and red fruit notes of a Sudan Rume whilst maintaining flavour intensity and a rich body. Centroamericano H1, an F1 hybrid coffee, in propagation at the ECOM SMS lab in Sebaco, Nicaragua. Pache colis provides some resistance to phoma. This coffee varietal adapts well between 3,500-5,500 feet. It was released in 2010 for farmers in Central America. Its varietal (variety or cultivar) plays a major role in this also. A first-generation (F1) hybrid originating from a cross between Caturra and an Ethiopian landrace from the CATIE collection (accession E531).. Centroamericano is resistant to coffee leaf rust, is extremely high yielding (in breeding evaluations, it showed production increases of 22–47% over the standard varieties in Central America). The variety was part of the first wave of F1 hybrid varieties created by a consortium including French research institute CIRAD, a regional network of national coffee institutes in Central America (PROMECAFE), and CATIE. There are many reasons why producers might choose to produce non-hybrid crops on their farm, and consumer interest in coffees like Gesha/Geisha, Bourbon, and Caturra will continue.
