In the state of Minas Gerais, on the Serra da Mantiqueira side, lies the Mantiqueira de Minas region.
This microregion has won most of the awards in Brazilian national competitions.
This is partly thanks to the experience and tradition of producers who focus on producing quality coffee, and the region's own characteristics are no less important.

These characteristics form the basis for producing some of the winning coffees of the Cup of Excellence.

Yellow Catuai is a hybrid of Yellow Caturra and Mundo Novo. The distinctive feature of these fruits is their yellow color, unlike most coffee fruits, which are red.

This coffee is part of our Specialty selection project.
