Maracaturra, a hybrid of the Maragogype "Elephant Bean" and Caturra varietals, takes its name from its two parent varietals. Its large, porous beans are similar to those of the Maragogype, but with the more exciting flavors of the Caturra varietal.
When combined with the washed process, this special varietal results in a cup that is vibrant, clean, and full of exciting flavors. It appeals to those who appreciate a bright, fruit-forward coffee and showcases notes of apple, pear, and honeysuckle.
This is one of the four coffees we offer from Finca Los Pinos, three of which are also Maracaturras and can be found in our Producer's Collection. Check out the rest of our Producer's Collection to try coffees that are of the same varietal and were grown on the same farm, but have unique tasting notes due to the processing methods used.
