About
S795 (Selection-795) is a coffee cultivar important for being one of the first strains of C. arabica found to be resistant to coffee leaf rust (CLR).
It is a selection of the Balehonnur Coffee Research Station in India, and it was generated by R.L. Narasimhaswamy by cross-breeding C. arabica and C. liberica known as S288 and the Kent variety, a hybrid of Typica and an unknown other type. Both S288 and Kent are resistant to many rust races, and the Kent variety is a high-yielding tree. The resultant S795 cultivar exhibits rust resistance, high yield, and a good cup profile, making it a desirable cultivar for producers.
S795 is widely planted in India and Indonesia. It represents 25-30% of the acreage of arabica coffee in India.
