Bolivian Caturra Coffee

A rich, strong and full-bodied coffee from Bolivia, which reveals sweet, fruity flavours, hints of honey and lemon, a medium-light body and little acidity, and a lovely liquorice aftertaste.

Caturra, a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety of coffee bean and a sub-variety of the Arabica species of coffee, was discovered in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais between 1915 and 1918 and is now grown in high altitude regions in Bolivia, where ideal temperatures and the high elevations produce excellent coffee beans.

Bolivia has long produced high quality coffee beans, with the first plants being introduced to the country around the mid-1800s and coffee production becoming a significant industry in the country by the early 20th century.
