Villalobos

Villalobos is a Typica-derived selection associated with Costa Rica, valued for tolerance to drier conditions and a clean, sweet cup. Less widely documented than the Bourbon-line dwarfs, it persists in older Costa Rican and Central American plantings and among growers preserving traditional Typica-lineage material.
