Mundo Maya
Very high yielding variety if planted in healthy soil, with very good quality at elevations above 1300 meters. Well-adapted to agroforestery conditions.
History & Origin
A first-generation (F1) hybrid originating from a cross between T5296, a rust-resistant descendant of the Timor Hybrid, and an Ethiopian landrace from the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) coffee collection (accession ET01), originally collected in Ethiopia by the ORSTOM/IRD collecting mission. Selection of Mundo Maya was done by ECOM-CIRAD in Nicaragua. 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.
