Catuai Origin and Cultivation

Catuai was cultivated in Brazil and is now commonly grown throughout Central America.

Panama Coffee Regions

Premium Panamanian coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and close to the Pacific coast. Coffee produced in the Boquet district of Chiriqui province is the most famous, with Volcán, Santa Clara, and Candel also being well-known. Other regions include the David district, Remacimeinto district, Bugaba district, and Tole district. Only coffee grown at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,500 meters is considered specialty coffee.

About Catuai Variety

"Catuai" is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, essentially a second-generation hybrid. It inherits Caturra's advantage of having a low-growing plant structure. The variety name Catuai comes from an indigenous language meaning "very good." As a member of the Arabica family, Catuai is relatively high-yielding.

About Catuai

Catuai is a coffee variety that is an artificial hybrid of Caturra and Mundo Novo. Catuai has good resistance to natural disasters, particularly wind and rain.

The Catuai tree is relatively low-growing. Compared to other coffee trees, Catuai fruits grow more densely and are harder to pick. 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 cupping tests have revealed that while coffee processed from yellow fruits may have good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee's mouthfeel is inferior to that from red fruits.
