Flores Yellow Catura is a type of coffee that actually existed from the Dutch era. But this coffee is not very popular because of its very small number, we get information at this time there are only about 700-900 trees. Flores Yellow Caturra coffee is grown in the Flores Bajawa and Manggarai areas. For now, maybe this Yellow Caturra coffee in Indonesia is only in Flores. Besides Indonesia, Yellow Caturra Arabica coffee is widely planted in Latin America.
That said, this unique seed tree produces only around 700 stems. Local farmers call this variety Colombian coffee. There is a long history so that these seeds can grow fresh in Tanah Flores, precisely in the Tangkul area, Rendenao village, East Manggarai with an altitude of 1100-1700 meters above sea level.
If the ripe coffee fruit is generally red, not Yellow Caturra. Don’t wait for the red fruit because it can rot on the tree. This type of arabica fruit is only ripe in a yellow condition. That’s why he is called Yellow Caturra.
The seeds are small and hard. But all of that was quickly forgotten when the brewing began. The aroma that evaporates from the cup is quite piercing the nose. The fruity taste and the slight aroma of tea with the right acidity make Yellow Caturra one of the special types of Nusantara Arabica coffee.
