Front Street-introduction to Kaddura, Colombia

The Colombian Coffee producers Association (Federacion Nacional de Cafeteos de Clolmbia), known as [FNC] for short in the industry, introduced the two main varieties of Colombian coffee, Kaddura and Colombia.

Kaddura, which was introduced from Brazil in the 1960s, now accounts for 45-50% of the country's output and has replaced the earliest Tibica.

The new breed [Colombia], which has the same name as Colombia, is a mixed-race coffee developed in the 1980s, with Kaddura and Timo ancestry, that is, the notorious Katim, but [FNC] insists that although Colombia is a direct line of Katim, its flavor is far more elegant than that of ordinary Kadim, because Colombia has washed away the moldy smell of strong beans after generations of "reverse hybridization" with Arabica, and the flavor is more like Arabica. It also has the advantages of disease resistance and high yield of stout beans, which is a sharp weapon for Costa Rica to increase production.

Kaddura (Caturra), a natural variety of Arabica variety bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its tree is not as tall and shorter as bourbon. Due to inheriting the blood of bourbon, the resistance is relatively weak, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon. Although found in Brazil, Kaddura is not suitable for growing in Brazil, so it is not planted on a large scale in Brazil, but is popular in Central and South America, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Kaddura is planted on a large scale.

Kaddura is easy to harvest because of its short trees, but it is a pity that, like bourbon, it has a periodic problem of production capacity fluctuation every two years. Flavor and bourbon beans are comparable or slightly worse, more important is super adaptability, do not need shade trees, direct exposure to the sun can also be full of vitality, commonly known as exposed coffee (Sun Coffee). At the same time, Kaddura can adapt to high-density planting, but more fertilizer must be applied to increase the cost. In academic circles, some people call Kaddura the bourbon of dense and exposed version, which can be said to hit the nail on the head.

At the site where Kaddura is planted, the higher the altitude, the higher the quality, but the corresponding yield is also less. Compared with these botanical characteristics, people may be more concerned about the taste of Kaddura.

Knowledge: Ethiopia is in the position of meta-ancestor in the coffee industry, is the birthplace of Arabica beans (Arabica), and is currently the largest Arabica producer in Africa. The Kaffa forest in Ethiopia is more known as the "coffee gene bank".
