Katim Coffee beans _ Yunnan Katim Coffee beans

Catimor, 1/4 of Luodou blood, is a cross between Kaddura (Arabica) and Timor (the original sound of Timor), a natural hybrid found in East Timor.

On the Indonesian island of Sumatra, Ateng (Katim's native name) and Tim Tim- are Timor (half of the Luodou gene) already account for 70% of exports. The so-called Manning is actually a three-in-one of these two kinds of hybrid beans and iron pickup (one of the Arabica species).

Colombia has also grown a large number of its own Katim (it is said that it has been backcrossed for many generations, and the gene of Luodou has been greatly reduced). It is named "Colombia" after the country, which shows the degree of importance and has become one of the major export varieties.

The local Roa hybrid in Kenya, called Ruiru 11, is also likely to replace the traditional variety SL28/34 in the export of commercial beans.

China's Yunnan, exports to Starbucks, Nestl é and other major international coffee manufacturers are basically Katim species, after all, high yield, disease resistance, high economic benefits to coffee farmers.

Coffee drinkers may have heard of bourbon, caturra, typica and other coffee varieties.

What we want to talk about today is a Lempira with less contact, which belongs to one of the varieties of Catimor.

LEMPIRA is a common variety in the west of Honduras (Honduras). It is also the name of a region and local currency in Honduras.

Because Lempira is resistant to leaf rust (leaf rust/ La Roya).

But... Leaf rust was also found in them this year.

Leaf rust (leaf rust/ La Roya)

Lempira is a hybrid of Timor Hybrid 832amp1 and Caturra. (note: Catimore is a hybrid of Timor Hybrid and Caturra.) Because Timor is a hybrid of Robusta and Arabica, Lempira also inherits the disease resistance of ROBUSTA.

The density is similar to that of CATURRA.

The characteristic is that it can be planted in warmer places and can adapt to sour soil. The altitude requirement is only 600-1200 meters.

The tree is short in height but high in yield.

However, mycosis that is not resistant to OJO DE GALLO also requires soil with higher nutrients.

Corns (OJO DE GALLO)-fungal disease, mostly affecting TIMOR varieties

Both fungi affect the coffee harvest. LA ROYA affects the bottom of the leaf and OJO DE GALLO affects the whole leaf and coffee fruit.
