Hacienda Sonora is a family-run farm in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, resting at the foot of the Poás Volcano in Carrillo, Alajuela.

In 1999, during a period of historically low coffee prices, owner Alberto invested in a mill so the farm could process its own coffee and focus on quality. This move made Sonora one of the early pioneers of Honey and Natural processing in the region. Today, all of its coffees are processed through these methods to bring out distinct sweetness and vibrant fruit character across the varieties grown on the farm.

Centroamericano H1 is an F1 hybrid born from Sarchimor T-5296 and the wild Rume Sudan variety, propagated through tissue-culture cloning. It’s now widely grown in Central America for its resilience and excellent cup potential.

This coffee is wonderfully versatile across different brewing methods — as a black coffee, with milk, or as a pour over. Expect a caramel-like sweetness with underlying notes of stewed berries and grape.
