Centroamericano H1、H3、H15介紹
一、Centroamericano 系列品種
Centroamericano(中美洲)咖啡品種,由法國農業研究發展中心 CIRAD、哥斯大黎加熱帶農業研究與教育中心 CATIE、中美洲國家咖啡組織 PROMECAFE 等機構聯合培育。過往業界多認為此系列僅具備產量優勢,風味表現平平。直到 2017 年,Centroamericano 於尼加拉瓜超凡盃(Cup of Excellence)拿下 90 分高分,才扭轉大眾印象。咖啡卓越聯盟(ACE)執行董事 Darrin Daniel 表示,這次 90 + 杯測成績,證實這支品種具備精品咖啡的高品質潛力。近年該系列旗下品種(如 H1)也常在中美洲生豆大賽(CoE)取得 90 分以上的高分,是科技選育品種的代表。
二、H3 特性
H3 為 Centroamericano 系列核心精品品種,由經典品種卡杜拉(Caturra)與衣索比亞野生古優種(Landrace E531)雜交培育。風味潛力極高,於高海拔(1,300 公尺以上)栽種時,能充分展現衣索比亞血統帶來的精緻水果感,如覆盆莓、熱帶水果香氣,伴隨細緻花香與明亮甜感,擺脫傳統中美洲商業豆沉悶單調的風味。風味奔放,是追求極致風味的高端精品豆。
三、H15 特性
H15(EC15)同屬 Centroamericano 家族,象徵精品咖啡市場逐步接納科技選育與無性複製技術,在保留頂級手沖風味的同時,因應全球氣候變化。 雖然 H3、H15 皆是卡杜拉體系 × 衣索比亞野生種的雜交成果,但定位各有側重。H15 親本額外導入帶有羅布斯塔血統的卡帝摩(Catimor)。維持系列優異的花香與果香基礎,甜感表現亮眼,屬於風味均衡的精品選項,在風味與品種穩定性之間取得平衡。
About Finca Garcilaso
Located a short distance outside the capital city of San José, Alice Soto farms the land at Finca Garcilaso. A few years ago, with production the lowest it’d ever been, Alice made the difficult but necessary decision to completely renovate the farm. Replanting most of the 42-hectare farm with newly developed Centroamericano varieties. Centroamericano varieties were produced by a group of Central American coffee institutes and CIRAD, a genetic research centre based in France. This research aimed to create high-quality, high-yielding, and disease-resistant varieties. Centroamericano H1 is a result of crossing the rust-resistant Sarchimor with Rume Sudan varieties. During the renovation, Alice divided the farm into plots to separate varieties and allow for more traceability. She also implemented several social and environmental programs aimed at protecting the local rivers and wildlife and moving Finca Garcilaso away from more traditional farming practices.
