However I do not know what you cup-tested was sib-mated CXR or ordinary CXR. Sib-mated CXR has bolder fruits and seeds similar to arabica compared to ordinary CXR. It is available in Wynad coffee growing area of Kerala, India. Also we have a cross of CXR with arabica undergoing field testing in Coorg coffee growing area of Karnataka, India. Mrs. Sunalini Menon, the well known cup taster from Bangalore, India has given good remarks about this new hybrid. If you are interested, I can arange to send samples during January-February next.Please respond to my E mail ID given above.
