Tabi is a cross between Typica, Bourbon and Timor created by Colombias National Coffee Research Institute (CENICAFE). It was released in 2002 and combines Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) resistance with the good cup quality of Bourbon and Typica. Similar to those two parents, Tabi is tall with long branches. However, Tabi has slightly larger fruits and seeds and can be grown at high altitudes, and in high density, with up to 3,000 trees per hectare. The name come from the word “tabi,” meaning “good” in Guambiano, the dialect of a native Colombia tribe.
