Developed through a cross between Caturra and Timor Hybrid, CR95 is a key player in sustainable coffee farming, ensuring that high-quality, specialty coffee can continue to be produced for generations to come in the face of escalating global warming rate.

About Finca La Lucuma

They have also continued to place in the top ranks in subsequent years, cementing their reputation as a producer of world-class coffee. At an astonishing altitude of 2250m, Finca La Lucuma's unique microclimate and expert processing techniques create a coffee with unparalleled complexity and clarity.
