Flavour

Red Catuai is cherished for its sweet and balanced flavour profile. Notes of red fruit, caramel, and nuts are commonly found in its cup, accompanied by mild acidity and a medium body. The variety is versatile, performing well across different roasting styles, making it a favourite for both espresso and filter brewing.

Terrior

The variety thrives in nutrient-rich volcanic soils found at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,800 metres. These elevations ensure a steady climate with cooler nights, allowing beans to develop complex sugars and flavours. The combination of fertile soils and elevation gives Red Catuai its distinctive sweetness and well-rounded profile.
