Flavor Profile

Opening the green bean bag reveals distinct floral and fruity aromas with rich sun-dried characteristics. When brewed, the coffee presents complex floral notes, with tropical fruit flavors reminiscent of mango and jackfruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.

The elegant S795 variety is known as Jember in Indonesia. It was introduced to local farmers by the Jember Coffee Research Center in East Java after being imported from India, and Javanese farmers began calling this S795 variety "Jembe."

S795 beans have a blue-green coloration and high yield potential, capable of producing 2,000 kilograms per hectare. The Indonesian government's Ministry of Agriculture is actively promoting this excellent variety and improving other local varieties. One of the varieties in Sulawesi, Toraja, also contains S795 genetic lineage.

Genetic Heritage

What about the origin of S795's parent trees - natural variations and hybrids? According to research, S288 was an outstanding hybrid variety cultivated in India in 1946. The S795 resulted from crossing India's S288 (second generation) with Kent varieties, producing beans with strong disease resistance, high productivity, larger bean size (70% are 17 screen), and excellent flavor.

The predecessor of S288 came from crossing S288 (first generation) with Typica to create S26. Because the first generation of S288 had an unattractive appearance and carried the wild aroma of Liberica, Indian botanists instead used the first generation S288 crossed with Typica to create the Kent variety, which was then crossed with the second generation S288 to become today's S795.

It has strong resistance to leaf rust and flavor characteristics close to Arabica with a slightly wild taste. Overall, the S795 variety carries Liberica genetic heritage, but through careful cultivation by Indian botanists, they successfully eliminated the wild Liberica aroma, resulting in more elegant flavors and strong disease resistance. Many alternative coffee varieties from cross-breeding are also sources of wild flavors.
