What is Hybrida?

Hybrida is a long-term project creating new coffee varieties for the future of coffee.

Coffee farming is becoming increasingly difficult. Rising production costs, climate instability and plant disease are putting pressure on producers across the world.

To continue producing exceptional coffees, farmers need new varieties that combine cup quality, resilience and agricultural diversity.

At Sapere.Coffee, we collaborate with The Center for the Advancement of Coffee, an NGO running coffee breeding and variety selection programs in El Salvador.

Participating farms plant and evaluate new genetic material while continuing to produce coffee commercially. Sapere supports the project by sourcing coffees from these farms and contributing a portion of every Hybrida coffee sale back to the program.

Hybrida coffees

Every lot below carries Hybrida material — from the regional washed SHG to the hybrid plots on the farms themselves. Buying any of them funds the program.

Every Hybrida coffee sold helps support the development of future coffee varieties.

What we claim, and what we don't

In Central America, the variety printed on a bag is often an inherited assumption: decades of replanting, seed swapped between neighbours, nurseries mixing lines. Through the Center for the Advancement of Coffee we are running genetic identification on the farms we buy from. Where the result is in, we name the variety. Where it is not, we say so — and we tell you what we do know: the farm, the altitude, the process, the cup.
