Coffea arabica 'Caturra' is a dwarf cultivar of coffee, originating from Brazil from the result of a cross of Bourbon Coffee, possessing attractive, evergreen, glossy, deep-green foliage. Being a dwarf cultivar, and generally staying under 6-8 ft in height, it is ideal for pot-growing as a conservatory or houseplant. It also has the benefit of being much more tolerant of direct sun, than other Coffea species and varieties, as well as being an abundant producer of beautiful white flowers and subsequent coffee beans.
Plants start producing their beautiful, white and highly fragrant jasmine-like flowers, usually between August to October — and following this, small fruits red, yellow and purple in colour; the fruits of which hold the seeds, known as 'coffee beans', which will turn dark brown upon roasting.
Coffea arabica 'Caturra' can tolerate low temperatures to some degree, but not frost, and it does best within a temperature range of 15 to 24°C (59 to 75 °F).
