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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Java
A variety carried from Ethiopia to Java, later introduced to Cameroon and Central America.
- Lineage
- A selection from the Ethiopian landrace population called Abysinia.
- Growing conditions
- Relatively low fertilizer demand and tolerance to coffee berry disease.
- Traits
- Recognized for high cup potential at elevation in Central America.
Maragogipe
A Brazilian Typica mutation distinguished by unusually large seeds and leaves.
- Lineage
- Found near Maragogipe in 1870; a parent of Pacamara.
- Growing conditions
- Widely spaced internodes and very low productivity.
- Traits
- Susceptible to rust, with good cup performance in Central America.
Sudan Rume
An Arabica lineage used as a breeding parent of F1 cultivars including Milenio.
- Growing conditions
- Also grown as separate lots by Café Granja La Esperanza in Colombia.
- Traits
- PT's Granja La Esperanza natural lot shows grape, molasses and grapefruit-zest notes.
Laurina
A natural Bourbon mutation originating on Réunion.
- Lineage
- Also named Bourbon Pointu.
- Growing conditions
- Short internodes produce a compact, conical tree form.
- Traits
- Lower caffeine content than Bourbon, with narrow seeds among its characteristics.
Pacamara
A large-bean variety developed by El Salvador's ISIC with high cup potential.
- Lineage
- Selected from Pacas × Maragogipe.
- Growing conditions
- Generally compact and susceptible to rust and Ojo de Gallo disease.
- Traits
- Very large seeds; traits continue to segregate between generations.
Ombligon
A coffee name used for material cultivated by Nestor and Adrian Lasso at El Diviso, Huila.
- Traits
- Named for the cherry's distinctive navel-like shape.
Sidra
Used in Ecuadorian specialty production for closely related Ethiopian-derived genetic material.
- Lineage
- Two Sidra morphotypes in the 2026 VINKA farm study belonged to the Core Ethiopia genetic group.
- Traits
- The study observed morphological variation rather than a single uniform line.
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.
Cenicafé 1
A composite cultivar developed for compact stature, productivity and rust resistance.
- Lineage
- Composed of eight selected progenies descended from Caturra × Timor Hybrid 1343.
- Growing conditions
- Selected for a Caturra-like compact habit.
- Traits
- Selection included large beans and molecular markers associated with coffee berry disease resistance.
Chiroso
A regional coffee name associated with cultivation in Urrao, Colombia.
- Lineage
- The Chiroso material in a 2021 genetic study grouped with Ethiopian landraces.
Ethiopian heirloom
A collective trade term encompassing diverse Ethiopian coffee populations.
