Yellow Catuai is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, first cultivated in 1949 by the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas in Brazil. Like Red Catuai, Yellow Catuai possesses strong disease resistance and is suitable for cultivation at high altitudes. Both varieties offer delicate and clean acidity. The double-fermented honey process, achieved through machine adjustments, produces richer flavor profiles and enhanced sweetness compared to yellow, red, and black honey processes.

The processing method is called "double-fermented honey processing," which involves first air-drying the coffee cherries to a raisin-like state (the fruit used for making raisins must be mature, with shade-drying being the optimal method. The seedless grapes from Turpan, Xinjiang, China are most famous for producing high-quality raisins. Turpan's climate is hot and dry, with brick-built drying houses featuring numerous wall openings and wooden rack supports, where mature seedless grapes are hung and quickly transformed into high-quality raisins through hot air circulation). After this raisin-like state is achieved, the fruit skin is removed for honey processing and fermentation. This approach results in more intense fermentation notes in the flavor profile, while preserving a higher percentage of pectin compared to other honey processing methods. It's touted as a 100% pectin honey process that truly delivers distinctive raisin-like flavors.
