Genetic Origin & History

Discovered in 1870 near the town of Maragogipe in Bahia, Brazil, this variety is a spontaneous natural mutation of the traditional Typica tree. It is world-famous for its giant characteristics: the trees have oversized leaves and produce some of the largest coffee seeds in existence (known as 'elephant beans'). Due to the low yield of the trees and the precision required to roast such massive seeds, it has become a rare and highly sought-after collector’s variety in specialty terroirs like Boquete, Panama.
