Fun facts for the curious:

The Caturra variety is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, discovered in Brazil in 1915-18. They differ only in one gene, which causes Caturra plants to be significantly shorter than Bourbon. This causes great interest from growers, because they can plant the plants more densely and thus obtain a higher yield in the same area as before.

Caturra grows best at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,600 m above sea level. Unfortunately, like most Arabicas, it is highly susceptible to diseases and pests. This variety allows for large harvests, and the grain is characterized by excellent quality, but its plants need constant supervision and fertilization. Caturra is a low plant, but it has thick bark and a lot of branches. Like the Bourbon variety, it has green, large leaves that are slightly wavy on the edges.

Although Caturra originated in Brazil, it never became a signature strain. In 1940, it was introduced to Guatemala, where it became extremely popular. From there, it traveled to Costa Rica, Panama, and Honduras, and today it is one of the most popular strains in all of Central America. Caturra is often used as a benchmark against which other strains are tested.
