Icatu: Masterpiece of Brazilian multi-generation hybrid improved varieties. Arabusta, a hybrid Arabica and robusta, has improved yields and resistance to leaf rust in the past, but coffee flavor has been poor. Scientists then crossed Arabica varieties such as Kadura, New World and Bourbon for multiple generations, reducing the bad taste of Robusta year by year and improving the excellent fragrance of Arabica, thus giving birth to Icato, which has more Arabica bloodlines than Robusta. This excellent "hybrid" is gaining popularity in Brazil, and has repeatedly entered the top ten of Brazil [COE]. Catim is also currently working in this direction to improve flavor.
