Caturra

A compact Bourbon mutation discovered in Brazil.

Lineage
A single-gene mutation subsequently selected by IAC from 1937.
Growing conditions
Short internodes and closely spaced branches suit dense planting; susceptible to leaf rust.
Traits
Widely cultivated in Central America and used as a benchmark in variety trials.
Sources

Chiroso

A regional coffee name associated with cultivation in Urrao, Colombia.

Lineage
The Chiroso material in a 2021 genetic study grouped with Ethiopian landraces.
Sources

Castillo

A composite cultivar developed by Cenicafé for Colombian growing conditions.

Lineage
Composed of selected lines descended from Caturra × Timor Hybrid CIFC 1343.
Growing conditions
Compact lines were evaluated across several Colombian coffee-growing regions.
Traits
Selected for rust resistance, productivity and large beans.
Sources

Colombia

A composite cultivar combining selected lines to maintain genetic diversity for rust resistance.

Lineage
Derived from Caturra × Timor Hybrid 1343, with component lines changed through continued breeding.
Growing conditions
Selected for compact stature, productivity and adaptation to Colombian growing conditions.
Sources

SL28

A drought-tolerant selection made by Kenya's Scott Laboratories in 1935.

Lineage
Selected from Tanganyika Drought Resistant, with Bourbon-related genetics.
Growing conditions
Suited to middle and high elevations; drought tolerant but susceptible to major diseases.
Traits
Long-lived trees can remain productive, with strong high-altitude cup potential.
Sources

Tabi

A tall composite cultivar developed for farms traditionally growing Typica and Bourbon.

Lineage
Composed of selected progenies from Timor Hybrid crossed with Typica and with Bourbon.
Growing conditions
Evaluated under shade and full sun, using planting densities similar to Typica and Bourbon.
Traits
Selected for vigorous growth, large beans and rust resistance.
Sources

Gesha

A name used for several genetically distinct coffee lineages originating in Ethiopia.

Lineage
Descendants of accession T2722 distributed in Panama form a distinct lineage.
Sources

Pink Bourbon

A name for pink-fruited coffee; tested samples have included Ethiopian-derived genetic material.

Lineage
Café Imports' 2023 testing found both an unmixed sample and samples containing Bourbon or Catimor alongside it.
Sources

Bourbon

A traditional variety central to the ancestry of cultivated Arabica.

Lineage
Belongs to the Bourbon genetic group and underlies several compact varieties.
Growing conditions
Tall plants susceptible to leaf rust and coffee berry disease.
Traits
Strong high-altitude cup potential; fruit ripens relatively early.
Sources

Typica

A foundational Arabica variety distributed worldwide via Java.

Lineage
Seeds transferred from India to Java in the late seventeenth century founded the modern Typica variety.
Growing conditions
Tall, low-yielding trees susceptible to major coffee diseases.
Traits
Adapted to cool growing conditions and valued for cup quality in Central America.
