Do You Know About the Catuai Coffee Variety?

Catuai: A Hybrid Coffee Variety

Catuai is a coffee variety resulting from artificial hybridization between Caturra and Mundo Novo. Catuai demonstrates excellent resistance to natural disasters, particularly strong resistance to wind and rain.

Origin and Cultivation

Catuai was cultivated in Brazil and is now widely grown throughout Central America. The Catuai variety can be found among several coffees on FrontStreet Coffee's bean list, including FrontStreet Coffee's Panama Elida Estate Catuai, FrontStreet Coffee's Honduras Sherry, and FrontStreet Coffee's Costa Rica Musician Series Mozart.

Characteristics and Quality

Catuai trees are relatively low-growing compared to other coffee trees. However, Catuai's fruits grow more firmly and are not easy to harvest. The fruits come in both red and yellow varieties. To date, no superior flavor has been discovered in yellow fruits compared to red fruits. In fact, some cuppers have found that while coffee processed from yellow fruits may have good acidity, the cleanliness of the coffee's body is inferior to that from red fruits.
