Elevate your botanical collection with our premium, estate-grade selection of Red Caturra Coffee (Coffea arabica) seeds. Discovered in Brazil in the early 1930s as a natural single-gene mutation of the ancient Bourbon variety, Caturra revolutionized the specialty coffee world. Named after the Guaraní word meaning "small," this highly celebrated cultivar is beloved by master growers and elite baristas alike for its compact, dwarf stature and astonishingly high yield potential. The plant produces elegant, closely spaced branches that display a breathtaking seasonal showcase of clustered white, jasmine-scented blossoms, which rapidly transition into dense, heavy ropes of brilliant crimson cherries. When harvested and roasted, Red Caturra beans yield an exceptional cup profile characterized by a bright, crisp citric acidity, a smooth medium body, and a comforting sweetness layered with notes of milk chocolate, red berries, and caramel.

Our fresh premium selection contains 120+ high-viability, thoroughly cleaned parchment-on (pergamino) seeds, hand-selected from elite parental lines to ensure outstanding germination rates and robust seedling health. Highly coveted for its compact, bushy growth habit and early-bearing nature, Red Caturra is uniquely optimized for container cultivation.

🌳 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Coffea arabica 'Caturra' (Red Caturra)

• Common Name: Red Caturra Coffee / Kopi Caturra Merah

• Plant Type: Highly compact, bushy, heavy-yielding tropical evergreen shrub

• Sun Requirements: Bright, indirect filtered light to partial sun (Essential: Thrives naturally as an understory canopy plant. Prefers bright, dappled sunlight or 4–5 hours of gentle morning sun. Protect strictly from scorching, direct midday afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn and maintain healthy, deep-green foliage).

• Soil / Medium: Requires a highly fertile, rich, organic, and flawlessly well-draining acidic soil mix (ideal pH 5.5–6.2). Highly sensitive to heavy, waterlogged soils that restrict root aeration.

• Watering: Water deeply and regularly to keep the medium consistently and lightly moist, but never waterlogged. Excellent drainage is mandatory to prevent root rot.

• Growth Habit: A naturally compact, dwarf shrub featuring beautiful, wavy-margined glossy leaves and heavy clusters of highly fragrant jasmine-scented white blossoms that transition into massive, plump cherries.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in cool, humid subtropical or high-altitude tropical environments (ideal temperatures between 15°C–25°C). Entirely frost-intolerant; adapts beautifully to indoor container growth or temperature-controlled greenhouses in temperate zones.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: Specialty coffee seeds are traditionally germinated with their protective outer parchment (pergamino) left intact, which protects the delicate embryo during shipping. To ensure a rapid and highly uniform sprout across this premium 120+ seed batch, soak the seeds in room-temperature distilled water for 24 hours prior to planting. Sow the seeds roughly 1/2 inch deep with the flat side facing downward into a warm, sterile, and highly aerated medium of damp sand or a peat-perlite mixture. Maintain a warm environment (around 24°C–28°C) under bright, indirect light, and keep the medium damp but never soggy. Sprouting typically begins reliably within 4 to 8 weeks!
