What are the characteristics of the varieties of coffee in Colombia?

Coffee variety

In addition to Kaddura Caturra, Bourbon Bourbon, Tippika Typica and Parkmara, which are common in America, Colombia also has three disease-resistant varieties unique to Colombia, namely Castillo Castillo and Columbia Colombia with the same name as Tabi Tabi. Of course, there are also some rare and valuable varieties such as Rosa Gesha, small-grained Mocha Mocca, Rume Sudan Romer Sultan, Eugenioides Eugene Odes, Laurina pointed Bourbon, Maraguesa Mara Rosa (a natural hybrid between Marago Rippi and Rosa).

There is also pink bourbon, just know that there is such a miraculous variety of coffee. Generally speaking, bourbon is a coffee tree that belongs to a branch of Arabica species, generally bearing red fruit, called red bourbon, in addition to yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, yellow bourbon relatively low yield, but better quality.

Colombian sun beans, called [wush wush], are rarely seen in Colombia. The early varieties planted in Colombia were the old iron pickup and bourbon, which were replaced by Kaddura in 1970; Kaddura is not only more productive per plant than iron pickup and bourbon, but also can be planted more per unit of acreage because the tree is more compact.

Since 1961, CENICAFE began to study Timor varieties of Robusta blood, and then selected Timo Timor and Kaddura Caturra to breed Columbia's Katim Catimor series. After five generations of breeding, CENICAFE released Colombia's first disease-resistant variety Colombia in 1982, and then after the emergence of leaf rust in 1983, Colombia varieties began to be planted in large quantities.

Then CENICAFE continued its research and development, releasing the second disease-resistant variety Tabi in 2002 (a hybrid between Bourbon and Timo Timor), and the most functional disease-resistant variety Castillo so far in 2005. After the outbreak of leaf rust in 2008, Colombia began to vigorously promote Castillo cultivation.
