Qianjie-Kent Coffee introduction

In plant taxonomy, coffee belongs to the Genus Coffea family of Rubiaceae, and there are at least a hundred varieties of coffee under it.

The more common types of coffee are Arabica (Arabica, elegant flavor, is the main boutique coffee) and Robusta (or thick beans, rough flavor, high caffeine content, not boutique coffee).

In 1911, a coffee tree with incredible antifungal ability was discovered at Dodenguda Manor in Mysore, India. The breed was then named kent after the last name of the person who found it. This variety is one of the earliest known varieties resistant to leaf rust. Kent is also a Tibica variant. After more than a hundred years of development, Kent is no longer resistant to leaf rust.

The surname of a coffee farmer in a seed selection program in India in the 1920s. The variety is designed to improve resistance to leaf rust. However, if you encounter mutated leaf rust, it is a different matter. The hybrid variety of Tibica found in India has high yield and strong disease resistance, but it has not achieved good results in the cup test.

S798: also one of the Indian varieties, the cross between Kent and S288, which is resistant to leaf rust and is widely cultivated in India and Indonesia, is now thought by botanists to have gradually lost its resistance to the disease.
