Kent

Kent is a Typica selection first identified on the estate of Mr. L.P. Kent in Mysore (now Karnataka), India, in the 1920s. It was one of the first cultivars selected for its partial resistance to coffee leaf rust, though that resistance has since broken down. Kent remains grown in parts of India and Papua New Guinea, producing a mild, clean cup with light body and gentle acidity.
