Castillo

Developed by Cenicafé as a rust‑resistant successor to Caturra, is known for its reliable productivity and surprisingly bright, sweet cup when carefully cultivated.

Its diverse regional lines—Naranjal, Paraguaicito, El Rosario—adapt well to different microclimates, making Castillo a cornerstone of modern Colombian coffee and a variety that balances resilience with genuinely enjoyable flavor.
