Variety: Casiopea (F1-Hybrid)
Casiopea is a modern F1 hybrid variety and represents a new generation in specialty coffee cultivation. It was developed by crossing Caturra with an Ethiopian landrace from the CATIE collection — two genetically distinct parent lines combined specifically for plant vitality, productivity, and cup quality.
Thanks to this so-called hybrid vigor, Casiopea can show strong agronomic potential in suitable growing conditions: vigorous plants, good productivity, and high sensory quality. For producers, this makes the variety especially interesting, as it brings together key demands of modern coffee farming — resilience, economic viability, and a clear focus on quality.
In the cup, Casiopea often combines the structured sweetness of Caturra with the aromatic complexity of Ethiopian genetics. A variety for everyone who wants to understand coffee not only through origin and processing, but also through the genetic idea behind it.
