The worlds first naturally seedless Tettnang-type hop.  Released by the Agriculture Research Service in Corvallis, OR in the year 1997.  The Santiam is a triploid aroma selection using a diploid Tettnang clone and a tetraploid Hallertauer.  The Santiam has the general perception of a hop that contains Noble hop characteristics.  This is an excellent aroma variety and a great replacement of the German Tettnang.



All hops are removed from the vine, cleaned and dried in the dryer.  In the dryer the hops are layered 2'-3' deep and hot air is forced through the floor for 8-12 hours until they are dried down to 8-10% moisture.  From the drying room they are transported by conveyors to the baling floor where the hops cool for up to 24 hrs before they are baled.  We are offering these varieties in 7 lb and 15lb bales. These custom bales are easy and convenient to handle. Hops are put into a high quality Mylar bag, filled with nitrogen, and then vacuum sealed. We leave some extra bag material so once it is cut it may be resealed. Most varieties will be shipped in 2-3 weeks.
