About this coffee

Country of origin: Costa Rica Region : Tarrazu Variety : Caturra Processing method : Natural Cupping score: 87 / 100 Altitude : 1800-1900 m a.s.l. Natural revolution You have already had the opportunity to try a Geisha roasted for espresso from this female farmer – now it is time for Caturra. A sweet shot with notes of milk chocolate, but also plenty of flavor reminiscent of figs and raspberries. Although Caturra was born in Brazil, it made a real career in Colombia, and later precisely in Costa Rica. According to World Coffee Research and Perfect Daily Grind, it is an absolute classic and a benchmark against which other modern botanical varieties are evaluated. What is worth knowing about it? Compact growth: Caturra possesses a dwarfism gene. The shrubs are short and stocky, which allows farmers to plant them more densely and makes harvesting the cherries much easier. A demanding patient: The price for high yield is poor health. Caturra is extremely susceptible to coffee leaf rust (roya) and pests, meaning it requires a great deal of attention, knowledge, and care from the farmer. Cup profile: Grown at the right altitude, it rewards you with brilliant quality. Expect a multi-dimensional, vibrant, and clean citric acidity, a medium body, and a distinct sweetness with notes of chocolate, caramel, and juicy fruits. No genetic modifications in a laboratory – a pure, natural revolution that changed the map of the specialty coffee world. Enjoy! Store in a cold and dry space.
