Caturra

Caturra is one of the most interesting coffee varieties, which gained popularity due to its compact structure and excellent quality of beans. Imagine a coffee plant that decided to become a model - instead of growing into a tall, graceful bush, it decides on a more squat, compact style. That's caturra: short, graceful, but with big ambitions!

This variety is a mutant of Arabica, or more precisely, a natural mutation. It appeared in Brazil in the 1930s and is valued for its unique flavor and relatively high resistance to disease, although it is not as resistant as some other varieties. Caturra usually grows at an altitude of 1,200 to 2,000 meters above sea level, which gives its beans a chance to develop in ideal conditions for obtaining a deep, complex flavor.

So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a low-profile coffee, Caturra is the answer. Its size makes it perfect for dense plantations where space is at a premium. How about the taste? Well, that depends on where it’s grown, but it’s usually a touch of acidity and sweetness that adds finesse to the coffee. So, if you find a cup of Caturra, you’re in for a coffee with a slightly more eccentric and elegant character.
