Sounds like an interesting coffee because of the variety and I’d never even heard of this process before:
It’s time for something new and different. Our 2nd season of H3 Hybrid coffees from Finca San Pedro which is part of the Santa Luz Estate in the Jinotega growing region.
This coffee is different for a number of reasons. Firstly it’s one of the first generation F1 hybrid varieties created by consortiums of coffee research institutes across Europe and Africa. In this case H3 resulted as a cross between the well know Caturra and an Ethiopian landrace variety (heirloom). F1 hybrids in Central America were part of an effort by breeders to increase the genetic diversity of varieties in the region since the traditional American varieties are severely genetically constricted. H3 was not part of the final round of selection after 2000 because it showed some susceptibility to rust, however the cup quality was exceptional and some farmers in the region involved in early tests opted to continue to cultivate the variety.
This is washed but with a yeasty twist. They use specialty yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) fermentation in a controlled environment which give the coffee an additional layer of tropical fruit and floral aromas. These special, washed lots have tropical-fruit-like (pineapple) tastes - "Pineapple Candy" !

Hmm, those look pretty good (as do all the other coffees they are offering...). Review when you've tasted please as I think I'll do an order.
