Caturra timor

With a pronounced acidity and strong body, Caturra-Timor is a specialty coffee bean variety that stands out thanks to its citrus fragrance and notes of sugar cane.

​

This coffee beans variety was developed by the Colombian coffee research institute, CENICAFE, to prevent the spread of La Roya, a fungus that attacks the leaves of coffee trees. This was the first Caturra–Timor hybrid developed in Colombia. Created through cross-fertilisation between Caturra (the female parent) and a hybrid of Timor (the male parent), its thick leaves enable it to withstand the disease.

​

The trees are characteristically small, though slightly taller than Caturras, featuring long branches, big leaves and large coffee beans.
