Interspecific hybrid variety
A variety from the cross between Arabica and Robusta
[Catimor] Katimo
The hybrid of Caturra and Timor. It was discovered in Portugal in 1959. The palate is obvious and easy to distinguish, with bitter acidity and a salty finish. In the Timo family, Robusta has low acidity and high bitterness, giving off spicy herbal and fruit peel aromas. It has high planting density and strong resistance to leaf rust, so it has become a high-yield variety. Oro Azteca is a dwarf selection.
In the past, Latin America has grown a lot of Catimor on the advice of agricultural experts, and after a decade, their advice has been proved wrong because coffee farmers cannot sell their beans at the right price.
