Costa Rica — Finca Garcilazo Red Honey H1 (500g)

This is the kind of coffee that reminds you just how deep the rabbit hole of specialty coffee really goes.

Not just “Arabica”.

Not just “good coffee”.

This is a rare H1 hybrid — a modern cross between the rust-resistant T5296 and the ancient Ethiopian heirloom Rume Sudan — combining high productivity with genuinely exceptional cup quality.

And then there’s the processing.

Red honey processing leaves part of the fruit on the bean during drying, creating extra sweetness, texture, and complexity in the cup while developing those rich fruit and cocoa characteristics specialty coffee lovers chase.

Unusual. Complex. Seriously memorable.

The kind of coffee that makes everyday commercial coffee feel painfully ordinary.

H1 is a first-generation hybrid developed from T5296 and the Ethiopian heirloom Rume Sudan, combining disease resistance with outstanding cup potential. SHG coffees are grown at high altitude, allowing slower cherry maturation and greater bean density, often resulting in more complexity and sweetness in the cup.
