NATANAEL CHARIS - Lini S795- Sigararutang - Catura - Ateng Super [natural] — Java

This coffee was grown in West Java in rich volcanic soil on the slopes of Mt Papandayan. The mornings are misty & cool, the afternoons warm & sunny. The coffee cherries are tested for ripeness using a refractometer to measure sugar content. When the cherries are harvested they're delivered to the washing station, floated in a water tank to select the most dense coffee & then spread out to dry on raised beds.

S795 was bred by Indian botanists in 1946. It is a cross between S288 [a natural hybrid of Liberica & Arabica] & Kent [an old Typica variety from India]. Sigararutang was discovered by a farmer called Tengku Ibrahim Aman Samsir. He noticed that one coffee plant was different to the others he had planted. It was a small plant, and had only been in the ground for two years, but it already produced lots of cherries. It was noticeably different to his other coffee plants which took three years to flower. Tengku Ibrahim started propagating this one plant, which he thought of as a ‘super varietal’, planting lots of this varietal in the same field. Farmers working around him started noticing the ‘super varietal’ and asked for seeds and plants. Catura, a mutation of Bourbon discovered in Brasil in 1937. The plant is a dwarf so it can be planted close together resulting in more production per hectare. Caturra has good flavour characteristics but is susceptible to disease. Ateng Super is a selection from one dwarf Catimor tree  that produced well. Found in Kecamatan Silih Narah. It's name is short for Aceh Tengah - the regency of Lake Takengon.
