THE CATURRA AND CATUAI VARIETY OF THIS SPECIALTY COFFEE
/p>
One of the varieties of this coffee is Catuai. It comes from a low, green-leafed plant that gives a small fruit but a high quality, good-sized bean, which is also sieved so that we only have in our package the best.
It is a crossbred coffee
It is a cross between the highly productive Mundo Novo and the compact Caturra varieties. The plant is characterized by its low size and its strength and resistance. Catuai is derived from the Guarani multo mother, which means 'very good,' according to World Coffee Research.
On the other hand, it also has beans of the Caturra species. This is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, with its origin in Brazil. Plants of smaller size and with better grain were selected at the Agronomic Institute of Sao Paulo in Brazil, from which this new variety was created, which has found in Colombia an ideal climate and soil. Despite this, as we say, the origin of this plant is Brazilian, according to the World Coffee Research.

SPECIALITY COFFEE WITH WASHED PROCESS
/p>
Coffee processing refers to how coffee is processed at origin. It refers to the way in which the coffee bean is extracted from the berry. The process, although there are many types, can mainly be by the dry/natural or washed/wet method
In this case the coffee is harvested manually and has a wet or washed process. This process consists of soaking the berries for a period of time, and then sorting them through a decanting process, and then pulping them.
This will make the beans more resistant to the sun, and the coffee is then washed
This will make the coffee absorb more sweet, floral and citrus touches belonging to the berry and pulp surrounding the bean itself.
