Rambung

Rambung coffee variety or Abyssinia 7
Abyssinia 7 or Ab -7 /is also called Rambung coffee variety, known to be a cross of original Abyssinia 3 and TimTim, aka Timor Hybrid aka HdT

An Ethiopia cultivar brought to Java in 1928, along with a type called Abyssinia. Rambung is also called Abyssinia 7 = AB7, called Rambung and widely planted, in Aceh. Reportedly an improved Abyssinia crossed with TimTim. Elongated bean form but generally less than AB-3, and more widely planted. The Abyssinia types have a tall and wide form, taking up more space and therefore less coffee yield per hectare. They also show productivity decline at 10 years according to the Dutch report, but I hear people replace the trees after 20 years. There is a premium for marketing “longberry” coffee in the Java market, so I observe people still planting and separating these coffees.
