Simple description

It originated in Brazil, but the acreage was not as large as it is now. Now Caturra is a very popular bourbon variant. Because it is a close relative of bourbon, Caturra inherits the weak disease resistance of bourbon, but the product is higher than bourbon, increasing the yield of 200kg per 100 mu.

Another advantage is that it can be planted with high density, up to 10000 plants per 100 mu (usually about 6000 plants). At the same time, it is also a dwarf plant, which is easy to pick.

In the cup: low mellow, bright, and sweet (low body, bright, with a typically sweet profile).
