S795

S795 is an Indian selection released around 1946, derived from a cross involving Kent and the rust-tolerant S288 (which carries some Liberica ancestry). Vigorous, high-yielding, and partially rust-tolerant, it spread across India, Indonesia, and parts of Southeast Asia and is the dominant Arabica in many Indonesian highlands such as Sulawesi and Java, contributing balanced, mild, cedary cups.
