Caturra Coffee Variety

Caturra, varietal Caturra, Coffea arabica var. caturra.

Caturra coffee was first discovered in 1937 in São Paulo state, Brazil, as a natural mutation of Bourbon. It is now widely cultivated in Central and South American production areas such as Brazil and Colombia.

Main Characteristics:

Higher yield compared to Bourbon varieties.
Coffee cherries are less likely to fall off during wind and rain.
Relatively short plants, making them easy to harvest.
Coffee trees require careful care and adequate fertilization.
Strong environmental adaptability, performing better at altitudes of 1500-5500 feet with annual rainfall of 2500-3500mm.
The higher the altitude, the more outstanding the cupping performance, while the yield decreases.
Enhanced resistance to pests and diseases, but still susceptible to infestation.
Inherits many characteristics from Bourbon varieties, with larger leaves and wavy-edged leaves.
Many new varieties have been derived from Caturra, such as Pacas.
