The WCR (World Coffee Research), a global coffee research organization, describes this variety as a tall plant, with medium yield, that has the potential to produce high-quality coffee at high altitudes.
The quality of Caturra coffee is slightly lower compared to Bourbon; however, it remains a very good option if its production is impeccable. Its strength lies in the quality/price ratio, making it highly appealing to local coffee growers.
The quality of this variety is considered one of the best within the Arabica species and is also one of the most expensive in the region. This species comes from Ethiopia and Panama and is well known for its peach and floral aromas.
Like Bourbon coffee, this is one of the most important genetic groups of Arabica coffee. It is not very common as its production is delicate, leaving little quality product after selection. Its flavor is described as complex due to the aromatic blends it possesses.
Since 2005, Castillo coffee has been cultivated in Colombia, achieving resistance to rust. Additionally, it is a low-growing tree with high production and good-sized beans, which greatly benefits its producers. It is said to have similar qualities to prominent coffee varieties such as Typica, Caturra, and Bourbon, all of which have been recognized for their high quality. Thanks to its characteristics, the Caturra variety is responsible for the high yield of its beans.
This variety has some characteristics that set it apart from other Bourbon descendants. It is a tall tree with large leaves, and its branches and beans are more spaced out compared to other coffee trees. However, its fruits are larger and elongated. The Sudan Rume cup is as exotic as the coffee itself, not only because of the rarity of the bean but also due to its unique flavors. The flavors of orange and pomegranate blend with the aromas of honeysuckle, cherry, and other red fruits, all in a coffee with a round body and acidity similar to that of currants, with nutmeg notes throughout the cup. As if that wasn't enough, the finish of the cup surprises with a touch of pear and cocoa. A captivating and enveloping experience in a world of flavors that only a cup with all the mystery of the African continent can offer.
