Jaadi is a Yemeni vernacular name for coffee trees. A 2022 genetic study found such names do not reliably match genetic varieties.
Jaadi is one of several vernacular names Yemeni farmers use for arabica trees. A 2022 study in Agronomy by Montagnon and colleagues, which sampled about 148 farms, found three broad genetic groups (SL34-derived, Bourbon/Typica-derived and a 'New-Yemen' group) and little or no correlation between local names such as Udaini, Tufahi and Dawairi and genetic background: the same name covered different genetics, and the same genetics carried different names. Jaadi should therefore be read as a local label, not a distinct variety.
