Qianjie-Katim variety introduction

Catimor, a hybrid of timor and caturra, was developed in 1959 by the Portuguese Coffee Leaf Rust Research Center (CIFC). Its research direction is disease resistance and high yield.

Catimor has high yield, short plant, dense planting and red-brown new leaves.

The robusta gene inherited from timor makes catimor more resistant to coffee berry disease, coffee leaf rust and insect pests, but it is often criticized for its performance in the cup.

Catimor fruit ripens quickly and has high yield, which requires adequate fertilizer supply and shading. In addition, the high yield of catimor corresponds to a relatively shorter commercial life, with an average of only ten years.

When growing at low altitude, the cup performance of catimor has no obvious advantages and disadvantages compared with other commercial varieties. When planted above 1200 meters above sea level, the flavor of catimor cup is obviously inferior to that of bourbon, caturra and catuai.

Catimor was first developed in 1959 and was popularized in Brazil in the 1970s and 1980s. With disease resistance and high yield, it occupies a place in Central and South American coffee varieties. The occasional outbreak of coffee leaf rust crisis in Central and South America has also contributed to the application of catimor.

Coffee varieties based on catimor can be found in major coffee producing countries, such as Colombia, Indonesia, and Yunnan, China.

Knowledge: as early as 1892, a missionary from France brought coffee to Yunnan and successfully planted the first coffee tree in a place called Zhu Kula.
