Milenio
Very high-yielding variety, with rust resistance and good quality at elevations above 1300 meters. Variety not uniform.
Stature: Dwarf/CompactOptimal altitude: Medium, HighQuality at high altitude: Very GoodCoffee leaf rust: Highly resistant
History & Origin
A first-generation (F1) hybrid originating from a cross between rust-resistant T5296 and Ethiopian landrace Rume Sudan.The variety was part of the first wave of F1 hybrid varieties created by a consortium including French research institute CIRAD, a regional network of national coffee institutes in Central America (PROMECAFE), and CATIE. F1 hybrid varieties are still relatively new in coffee agriculture; only a handful have become commercially available to farmers in the last 15 years, and only in select countries.
