A coffee variety from Ethiopia's Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC). Selected for high yields and disease resistance while maintaining cup quality. Becoming one of the more common named varieties in Ethiopian specialty coffee.
Definition
What 74112 is
74112 is another variety from the Jimma Agricultural Research Center's selection program. Like 74110, the number is an accession code from JARC's collection of wild forest coffee genetics.
74112 has been widely adopted because it offers farmers higher yields and disease resistance without the quality trade-offs seen in some improved varieties from other origins. It's increasingly common in Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions.
