About Catuai Variety

"Catuai" is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, essentially a second-generation hybrid. It inherits the advantage of Caturra's low tree height. 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 Variety

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 firmly and are not easy to harvest. The fruits come in both red and yellow varieties. To date, no evidence has been found that yellow fruits taste better than red fruits. In fact, some people have found in cupping that although coffee processed from yellow fruits has good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee's taste is inferior to that of red fruits.

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