F1 Variety
This processing method is a star variety currently being promoted in Costa Rica. F1 refers to the first generation resulting from the crossbreeding of two different varieties, species, or genera. F1 varieties typically have higher yields, superior quality, consistent quality, vigorous growth, and excellent resistance to diseases and pests. Most commonly seen coffee varieties today are subspecies of Arabica, which generally have insufficient genetic complexity. Over the past 10-15 years, various coffee-growing regions have been plagued by leaf rust, prompting active research into F1 varieties. Researchers first identified two genetically diverse varieties, Villa Sarchi and Timor. Villa Sarchi represents flavor, while Timor carries the Robusta gene for disease resistance. By crossbreeding and selecting the offspring, they developed the T5296 variety, which is disease-resistant and has decent yields. To further pursue flavor excellence, T5296 was crossbred with other varieties known for better flavor profiles. In 2015, the World Coffee Research Center began investing in the development of new F1 varieties.
 

Justin Coffee carefully selects various Arabica varieties to craft drip coffee, including Geisha、Pacamara、Heirloom、Bourbon、Typica、Caturra、Pacas、SL28 SL34、Tim Tim、Catuai, and other world-renowned specialty coffee varieties.

To enhance your coffee experience, Justin Coffee prints the bean variety information on the packaging, allowing you to know which coffee variety you are savoring. While flavors may vary due to multiple factors, this gives us a glimpse into the vast and diverse world of coffee beans.
