Guatemala Kape'tenango H1

From La Maravilla farm in Huehuetenango's rugged mountains (1600–1850 m), this washed H1 hybrid combines rust resistance with the distinctive character of Sudan Rume, an Ethiopian landrace. Raised-bed sun-dried for clarity, it delivers blood orange, tamarind, and juniper notes—a profile that reflects both the variety's genetic lineage and the farm's decades of refinement. Mauricio Rosales's multi-Cup of Excellence-winning estate has established Kape'tenango specifically to showcase experimental varieties like this one. Worth seeking for its heritage and precise expression.
