Varietals & Genetics

In Simple Terms

Andung Sari is a Sumatran Catimor cultivar from Jambi - productive at altitude and showing more sweetness than many Catimor-type varieties.

What is the Andung Sari coffee varietal?

Andung Sari is a coffee cultivar grown primarily in the Kayo Aro area of Jambi province, Sumatra. It's a hybrid of Caturra and HdT 1343 (a specific Híbrido de Timor selection), placing it within the broader Catimor family of disease-resistant Arabica crosses.

The variety is dwarf in stature and best suited to altitudes above 1,250 masl. It's valued locally for consistent yield and notable sweetness - a desirable trait in Sumatran coffees where earthiness can otherwise dominate the cup profile.

Andung Sari won't typically appear as a named varietal on export specifications - it contributes to the broader Sumatran green coffee supply rather than being traded on its own identity. It's one of several regional Indonesian selections that balance practical agronomics with decent cup character.
