Brief introduction of Qianjie-Kaddura Coffee varieties

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 widely planted in Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

It can be said that the variety Kaddura appears more frequently in American beans. This is a variety of bourbon, found in Brazil in 1937, with better production capacity and disease resistance than bourbon, plus shorter trees for coffee farmers to harvest.

But soybean prices soared in the 1970s, and farmers switched to Kaddura to increase production, which was popularized by the Brazilian and Colombian authorities and yielded fruitful results. The acceptance of Kaddura by farmers means a great change in planting technology. Brazil and Colombia switched to high-yield, high-density sun-exposed planting. in 1990, 14 million bags of coffee beans could be harvested on 1 million hectares, increasing production capacity by 60%. No wonder Kaddura, with high production capacity and high quality, has become a variety relied on by various producing countries.

Kaddura is suitable for planting in the high altitude area from 700m to 1700 m. It has strong adaptability to altitude, but the higher the altitude, the better the flavor, and the production capacity is relatively reduced. 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.
