74110

74110 is one of a series of selections made by Ethiopia's Jimma Agricultural Research Center from material collected in the Metu-Bishari forest in 1974, following the coffee berry disease outbreak — hence the '74' prefix. Released to farmers as a CBD-resistant, good-cupping line, it and its sibling 74112 are now widely planted in Guji and Sidama, contributing to the clean, fruit-forward profile of many traceable Ethiopian micro-lots.
