Indonesian name for S.795, an Indian selection from Kent and S.288 that reached Java through the Jember research station in 1955.
Jember is the Indonesian name for S.795, released in 1946 by India's Central Coffee Research Institute. It was bred from two rust-resistant parents: Kent (a Typica-derived selection) and S.288, a selection from a natural Arabica x Liberica hybrid. It reached Indonesia from 1955 through the Jember research station in East Java, which gave it its local name. Jember is the same cultivar as S795 (see the s795 entry), not a separate variety. Some trade sources misprint the Liberica-derived parent as S.228.
