About this coffee

Icatu is a Brazilian cultivar developed by the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas and released commercially in 1993. Breeders crossed Coffea canephora (Robusta) with Coffea arabica, then backcrossed the offspring with Arabica over multiple generations to improve cup quality while keeping the Robusta's robustness. The result is a highly productive, disease-resistant plant with a cleaner, more balanced cup than earlier Robusta-Arabica hybrids. Icatu usually works behind the scenes as part of the productive backbone of Brazil's large-volume output, so we love seeing it take center stage here.
