MICROLOT SPECIALITY – COLOMBIAN Castillo (Washed)
The Castillo variety, developed by Colombia’s Federación Nacional de Cafeteros (FNC) through its research centre, Cenicafé, was officially released in 2005. This variety was specifically designed to address two major challenges faced by coffee farmers: low productivity and susceptibility to coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), a devastating fungal disease that has caused significant losses in coffee crops globally.
Developed from a genetic cross between the Timor Hybrid (known for its disease resistance) and Caturra (valued for its compact size and stand out cup profile), Castillo combines the best traits of both varieties. It offers robust resistance to coffee leaf rust and delivers higher yields compared to traditional varieties like Caturra. Castillo is also adaptable to a range of altitudes, typically thriving between 1,200 and 1800 m.a.s.l. making it a versatile choice for Colombian coffee growers.
In terms of flavour, Castillo is well known for its well-balanced profile, featuring notes of citrus, red fruits, and caramel, often accompanied by bright acidity and a smooth, medium body.
Stature: dwarf | Average Altitude: 1200 – 1800 m.a.s.l. | Resistant to leaf rust and CBD (coffee berry disease)
