Lempira Coffee Variety

Lempira Variety

A hybrid of Timor Hybrid 832/1 and Caturra, developed through pedigree selection by PROMECAFE/Instituto Hondureño del Café (IHCAFE). Highly similar to Costa Rica 95.

Recently, Lempira has been scientifically confirmed to be susceptible to coffee leaf rust in Honduras and likely in other parts of Central America as well. It is sensitive to Ojo de Gallo. Recommended for acidic soils and aluminum-rich soils. Suggested for the warmest regions.

The Lempira variety accounts for a significant portion of Honduras' coffee production and has been widely planted since the leaf rust epidemic began in Central America in 2012.
