About Catuai Coffee

Catuai is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, making it a second-generation hybrid. It inherits Caturra's advantage of low-growing stature. The variety name Catuai comes from a native word meaning "very good." As a member of the Arabica family, Catuai is relatively high-yielding.

About Catuai

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

The Catuai tree is relatively low-growing. Compared to other coffee trees, Catuai's fruit grows more firmly and is not easy to pick. The fruit comes in both red and yellow varieties. To date, no superior taste has been found in yellow fruit compared to red fruit. In fact, some cuppers have discovered that while some yellow-fruit processed coffees have good acidity, their cleanliness is inferior to that of red-fruit processed coffee.

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

Panama Coffee Growing Regions

Premium Panama coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and close to the Pacific Ocean.
