Last Updated: 2025/08/21, Kaddura (Caturra): a single-gene variant of bourbon, discovered in Brazil in the ○'s. The production capacity and disease resistance are better than bourbon, but the trees are shorter and easy to harvest, but like bourbon, they all have periodic problems of production capacity fluctuation every two years. The flavor is comparable to or slightly worse than that of bourbon beans, but more importantly, it is super adaptable and does not need shade trees. It can also be full of vitality in direct exposure to the sun.

Kaddura (Caturra): a single-gene variant of bourbon, discovered in Brazil in the ○'s. The production capacity and disease resistance are better than bourbon, but the trees are shorter and easy to harvest, but like bourbon, they all have periodic problems 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 vibrant, commonly known as exposed coffee (Sun Coffee) can adapt to high-density planting, but must apply more fertilizer, increase the cost, so the acceptance of coffee farmers is not high in the initial stage. But soybean prices soared in the 1970s, and farmers switched to Kaddura to increase production, which was vigorously promoted 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. by 1999 ○, 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 most suitable for planting in high altitude areas ranging from 700m to 1700 m, with strong adaptability to altitude. However, the higher the altitude, the better the flavor, and the production capacity is relatively reduced, which is the fate of high-quality beans. In academic circles, some people call Kaddura a dense and exposed version of bourbon, which can be said to hit the nail on the head. There is also a variety of yellow Kaddura (Caturra Amarello) in Central and South America, but the wind review is not as good as Huang Boben.
