Catiguá

Catiguá, specifically Catiguá MG-2, is a varietal which was recommended to me by EPAMIG in Brazil. EPAMIG is a government agency that researches coffee and offers consultancy to farmers. Catiguá MG-2 was one of their recommendations due to its quality potential. And they were right! It has become one of my favorite varietals at the farm. The beans are smaller and the mucilage is very sweet. The trees are resistant to coffee rust and are short, resembling Catuai trees. The leaves are large and has a beautiful bronze tone. If you enjoy our Catucaí Red, you ought to try our Catiguá MG-2.

Our first harvest was only 60 lbs. The cupping notes are brown sugar, cherry and walnuts. We are roasting this coffee just in October and it will only be available while supplies last.
