Variety: Kurume

Kurume is a renowned regional landrace variety originating from Yirgacheffe.

Background

Historically, Ethiopian farmers selected seeds locally rather than through formal breeding programs.
After a severe coffee berry disease outbreak in the 1960s, the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) began cataloging and selecting resistant varieties.
Researchers eventually focused on local landrace varieties naturally adapted to their environments and reflective of each region’s distinct cup profile.
