An Ethiopian forest selection from Kaffa, collected in 1955 and widely planted in Indonesia.
USDA 762 is an Ethiopian selection collected in October 1955 in the forest region of Kaffa Province near Mizan Tafari, and catalogued by the USDA as plant introduction 230762. It was brought to Indonesia by the FAO in 1955 and is common in Java and Bali. Its rust resistance has largely been overcome, so it is now recommended for higher elevations where rust pressure is lower. Reports of its cup are secondhand, mentioning citrus and floral character.
