ABOUT THE FARM

The Bayter family from the El Vergel farm has been involved in agriculture since 1995. Initially, they grew avocados, and since 2009, they have been experimenting with coffee cultivation. Gradually, under the guidance of Miguel Jimenez, they expanded their offer to include specialty coffee varieties. The farm underwent a major modernization in 2018. Natural drying processes were introduced, and research began on bacteria and yeast that control fermentation (including the Koji strain). Currently, over 28 different coffee varieties are grown there.

ABOUT THE VARIETY

Caturra is a coffee variety that originated as a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety. It was discovered on a plantation in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil between 1915 and 1918. The name "Caturra" comes from the word "Guarani", which means "small". This variety is characterized by the short stature of the plant. Due to its small size and closely spaced branches, it can be planted close together, which increases the yield per given area. Caturra contributed to the intensification of coffee cultivation, particularly in Central America, where it was introduced to cultivation in the 1940s. This variety also played a significant role in breeding coffee trees resistant to coffee leaf rust, contributing to the creation of the "Catimor" family of varieties. The Red Caturra variety is characterized by an intense aroma and a rich flavor profile. On the other hand, Yellow Caturra is a subtle coffee variety with bright, yellow beans. It is characterized by a mild flavor profile.

ABOUT THE PROCESSING

Sugarcane is a unique type of fermentation resulting in more intense fruity notes. After the fermentation is complete, caffeine is removed through an extraction process in special containers, where it is washed with a mixture of water and ethyl acetate. This process is repeated multiple times until the caffeine level drops to just 0.1%.
