Dwarf Red Catuai is a compact, high-yielding coffee variety that produces deep red coffee cherries. It thrives in Perth’s climate when given protection from extreme heat and dry winds.

Dwarf Red Catuai features glossy dark green leaves, fragrant white blossoms, and heavy crops of classic red coffee cherries. The beans offer a rich, balanced, and classic coffee flavour profile upon roasting. Highly adaptable, it thrives in large containers or protected garden beds while staying manageable in size.

Interesting Notes:
Developed in Brazil as a cross between Caturra and Mundo Novo, Red Catuai was selected for its wind resistance and high production in small spaces. The dwarf growth habit allows for effortless harvesting without the need for tall ladders.

A standout ornamental and functional plant to add to any productive shade layout or Mediterranean microclimate.
