Tabi

Coffea arabica (Cenicafé hybrid)

Sweet, complex; among the better-cupping resistant varieties.

Tabi — meaning 'good' in the Guambiano Indigenous language — was released by Cenicafé in 2002 as a tall, rust-resistant line bred from Typica, Bourbon, and the Timor Hybrid. Unlike the compact Castillo, its taller stature and quality-leaning parentage aim to combine disease resistance with a more distinguished cup, and it appears increasingly on specialty Colombian menus.
