About Catuai

Catuai is a coffee variety artificially hybridized from Caturra and Mundo Novo. Catuai has good resistance to natural disasters, particularly wind and rain.

The Catuai tree is relatively short compared to other coffee trees. Catuai fruits grow more compactly and are not easy to harvest. The fruits come in both red and yellow varieties. To date, no superior taste has been found in yellow fruits compared to red ones. In fact, some people have found in cupping that while coffee processed from yellow fruits may have good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee's taste is inferior to that from red fruits.

Catuai was cultivated in Brazil and is now widely planted throughout Central America.

Panama Coffee Region

Panama's premium coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and close to the Pacific coast.
