Coorg (Kodagu) · Variety
S795 in Coorg (Kodagu)
Coorg (Kodagu) is known for india's coffee garden — shaded estates of arabica and celebrated robusta, and S795 is one of the varieties behind that reputation. The region's farms sit at 1,000–1,500 m — S795's preferred range is 900–1,500 m — and harvest runs november – march, the window in which the variety's character is decided in the field.
S795 brings its own agronomic personality to Coorg (Kodagu): a medium-tall, spreading, suited to shade systems plant with medium-high yield potential, and disease behavior best summarized as moderate rust tolerance (declining against modern races). Regional processing leans on washed, natural, monsooned, which shapes how the variety's raw material reaches the cup.
Tasted side by side with the same variety from other regions, Coorg (Kodagu)'s expression stands apart: the variety contributes mellow chocolate and sweet spice with soft citrus, while the regional cup runs toward dark chocolate, spice, and mild citrus in arabica; india's washed robusta ranks among the world's finest — creamy, clean, nutty. That interaction — genetics times place — is exactly what regional sourcing is about.
