Caturra
Caturra is a natural mutation of the Bourbon coffee variety, characterized by a shorter plant stature due to a genetic mutation. This coffee variety adapts well to drought, wind, and high temperatures, but it is sensitive to certain diseases such as leaf rust and nematodes.
Caturra beans often exhibit the distinctive flavors typical of Specialty Coffee, with a diverse flavor profile depending on the growing and processing conditions. This versatility allows Caturra to be suitable for various roasting methods, providing a rich experience for coffee enthusiasts.
Popular in Latin American countries, particularly Colombia and Costa Rica, Caturra represents a promising option for the Specialty segment when cultivated and cared for properly.
