Specifically, we examined whether the identity of the pollen donor (SL28\/self pollination vs. Geisha) could impact sensory attributes and chemical composition of the resulting seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is commonly known that better pollination results in better fruit set and yields. However, pollination is a fundamental yet often overlooked factor influencing coffee quality. While Coffea arabica varieties are largely self-pollinating, they are also capable of receiving and utilizing pollen from other Arabica varieties. This capacity for cross-pollination introduces the potential for genetic exchange and seed alterations, which may affect not only yield and fruit set, but also cup quality. Despite this, the role of pollination partner in shaping quality attributes has not been systematically studied under controlled conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bumpedFont15\"\u003eInside the box, you’ll find two versions of the SL28 variety. The first is self-pollinated version (SL28 x SL28) showcasing a typical profile of this variety with pronounced blackcurrant and fruity notes, while the second one is cross-pollinated with geisha (SL28 x Geisha), producing a coffee with more co plex aroma profile, with intense floral, citrus and cardamom. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bumpedFont15\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"POMA COFFEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57091374121285,"sku":null,"price":499.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0866\/4547\/3605\/files\/PollinationExperiment_1.jpg?v=1770725682","url":"https:\/\/www.pomacoffee.com\/products\/pollination-experiment-sl28-x-geisha-re-release","provider":"POMA COFFEE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
