The variety was introduced to Brazil as a natural mutation from Bourbon. Its capacity for production is superior to Bourbon however, it requires higher altitudes, resulting in lower yields. The process of mass selection was employed to find parent plants that did exceptionally well. Bulk seeds from these parents were then produced and the process repeated.Colombian Caturra is a high yielding plant that has a remarkable resistance to Coffee Leaf Rust. It is one of the two parents of the Castillo which was developed by Cenicafe to be the official plant for their "Colombia sin roya", a program aimed at recovering coffee production in Colombia.This historic Caturra was grown by farmers in the department of Urrao at 2,000 feet and carefully roasted for you by Camber Coffee.

It was brought to Panama in the 1960s, where it quickly gained a reputation for its floral aromas, full-bodied flavour, and delicate acidity.Geisha is a very expensive coffee variety. It's susceptible to disease and requires high altitudes for growing. The yield of the fruit is also lower. This makes it difficult to make consistently and it is combined with its high cup scores to drive the price.This particular Gesha lot was processed using honey. (Not the actual honey, the beans were treated and dipped into a sugar-based water.) The beans were then placed in an enclosure and dried for 96 hour through carbonic maceration.

Indonesian LibericaThe majority of coffee drinkers are familiar with two species in the Coffea family: arabica and robusta. The former is responsible for the majority of coffee sold around the world, whereas the second is only 20%. There are more than 120 known species belonging to the genus, and some are more well-known than others.Currently, the most well-known non-arabica species is Coffea excelsa (or var. dewevrei). This variety is found on large trees at medium altitudes and produces a teardrop-shaped beans. It is often used in blends, and can add a distinctive lingering finish to your cup.Although it's not as well-known as arabica, it still has an established market in Southeast Asia. This is largely because of the demand created by religion as Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia drink their coffee after prayers. Liberica's resistance to rusty coffee leaf and its low caffeine content, make it a desirable alternative for producers who don't have enough money to invest in arabica.9. Brazilian ExelsaWhile Excelsa is extremely resilient and productive, it requires more attention from farmers to manage than other Coffea arabica or canephora species. This is due to its asymmetrical bean, which are bigger than canephora and arabica. It also has a longer period of fruiting and its leaves are bigger than those of other C. liberica varieties. Furthermore, its high production levels allow it to grow to over 15m tall and produce a large amount of fruit.According to Oliveiro it's a pity that the plant has been misunderstood so much - even though it was reclassified as the dewevrei variety of liberica in 2006 - because it is "a excellent coffee producer". However, without a commodity market and a tiny demand for the species, making the switch is unlikely. If you're willing and able to commit the time and effort to cultivate it, the benefits of excelsa beans are obvious. They are generally lower in caffeine than arabica or canephora and have a thicker more soluble mucilage.
