The varieties

S795: the backbone of Indian Arabica. A selection of Kent × S288, rust-tolerant, reliable yield. Nutty, chocolatey, balanced, medium acidity.
Chandragiri: a dwarf selection with good disease resistance. Sweeter, fuller-bodied, rounder.
HSD (Hibrido de Timor): an Arabica–Robusta natural hybrid line, hardy and clean-cupping. Bright citrus, floral, "washed-Ethiopia" character. Increasingly bottled as specialty micro-lots.
SLN 9: an Ethiopia (Tafarikela) × S.12 Kaffa cross, grown in small quantities for its aromatics, jasmine, stone fruit.
Cauvery (Catimor): higher-yielding, cleaner acidity, planted in some newer blocks.

Processing on top of variety

The same S795 tastes different washed vs natural vs honey. Variety sets the base; processing sets the character.
