F1 hybrids (2)
- Esperanza — A Central American F1 hybrid — Sarchimor line T5296 crossed with an Ethiopian accession held at CATIE — that was passed over for release, then pulled into Costa Rican fields by farmers who wanted something that survives a wet climate and still cups well.
- Starmaya — The first Arabica F1 hybrid that can be grown from seed instead of cloned in a laboratory — bred by CIRAD and ECOM from a pollen-less Ethiopian mutant crossed with Marsellesa, and the variety that made hybrid coffee cheap enough to sell by the sack.
