Cenicafé 1

Cenicafé 1 is a variety released by Colombia's national coffee research center, Cenicafé, as a more genetically uniform successor to the Castillo composite. It descends from Caturra crossed with Timor hybrid, inheriting broad resistance to coffee leaf rust while maintaining good productivity and cup quality. Plants are compact and well suited to Colombia's dense, high-altitude plantings. In the cup it is clean and balanced, with medium body and sweet, approachable acidity.
