The Robusta coffee plant may be known as the commercial and inferior relative of  Arabica, but without it, we wouldn't have the Arabica we have today. Robusta is the parent (and possibly mother) plant of Arabica, and the parent (or mother) species that Robusta combined to produce Arabica is known as Coffea Eugenioides. People hardly bred this species for cultivation, and people only noticed recently. Colombian producer Camilio Marisande has been experimenting with unique and rare varieties in recent years. …

The Mundo Novo coffee variety results from a natural cross between  Bourbon and  Typica varieties found in Mineiros do Tiete, Sao Paulo,  Brazil. The seeds of the coffee trees were initially grown in the Novo Mundo municipality, known today as Urupês. In 1943, people discovered this variety, and farmers have cultivated it in BraZil since 1952. …

Heirloom – although it means "Heirloom," in the case of coffee, we can understand "Heirloom Varietals" as "Indigenous varieties." Some Arabica coffees don't fit neatly into the typical bourbon classification scheme. These are native plants available in the wild in Ethiopia and Sudan, and they are genuinely "distinct" from those plants brought to Yemen that have turned into typical bourbon. Thousands of Ethiopian Heirloom coffee trees are natural descendants of wild coffee trees. Many areas (villages) have their coffee varieties, which local people …

Hybrido de Timor is another name for the  Timor coffee variety, a hybrid between  Robusta coffee and  Arabica coffee. Hybrido de Timor was first discovered in the 1940s on the island of Timor in Indonesia with strong rust resistance inherited from Robusta coffee varieties. Hybrido de Timor was discovered in 1927 in a Typica coffee plantation established in 1917, in present-day East Timor. Coffee farmers in Timor started growing Hibrido de Timor in the 1940s. In the late 50s and 60s, Timor Hybrid seeds spread to other Indonesian islands …

Villa Sarchi  (also known as La Luisa or Villalobos Bourbon) is a natural mutation of the  C. Bourbon variety with a genetic mutation that causes the plant to grow smaller than normal (also known as a dwarf mutation). This variety was discovered in  Costa Rica  in the 1950s (or 1960s) in the Northwest region of Alajuela province, then underwent pedigree selection (selection of individual plants over successive generations) there.   …

Typically, along with its "brother",  Bourbon  (Coffea Arabica var. Bourbon) is one of the most genetically diverse C. Arabica species and holds an important place in the world coffee industry. According to WCR Arabica Typica is Also known as Criollo (Creole), Indio (in India) or Arábigo (Arabica) or Blue Mountain (in Jamaica), and Sumatra (in Indonesia). Typica is considered a “pure Arabica” similar to Bourbon, these are coffee varieties that produce a much higher quality of flavor than new varieties, either bred from the …
