VARIETY
Caturra is a dwarf natural hybrid of the bourbon variety. The first mentions and found plants are sometime in the mid-1950s from Brazil. Farmers quickly fell in love with it because of its small stature, as they were able to plant a larger number of plants in a smaller area and thus increase the profitability of farms.
Caturra has great taste properties, unfortunately it is very susceptible to disease.
Castillo is an artificially created variety that is popular especially in Colombia. Almost two decades ago, it replaced most of the varieties that were affected by a disease called coffee rust. Today, it is popular mainly for its disease resistance and high yields. Some roasters argue that its taste properties, especially the typical dry finish, are not very good and are therefore often the subject of debate.
