What is Caturron varietal?
This varietal is a rare mutation of Caturra found for the first time in Acevedo, Huila. Growers started planting Caturron due to its resistance to leaf rust and high yield. But it wasn't until 2016 when Cofinet, with the help of some growers from the region, identified the exotic cup profile of this varietal.
Coffee Background:
This coffee was grown by Jairo Arcila at the farm Villarazo. This coffee was carefully hand-picked in order to select only the ripest cherries and then hand sorted to remove any defects. The coffee was sundried on raised beds in temperature controlled conditions until the ideal moisture content is achieved.
