Red Caturra
™Ladang Mariah Micro Lot
Type: AS1
Varieties: Red Bourbon & Red Caturra | 6-11 year old trees
I decided to borrow a brand tradition from the America’s of naming the Finca or Farm in the brand and use the local word for farm since LLO is in North Sumatra. This is how Ladang Mariah became the first of LLO and Back Bay Roasters product offerings. I have applied this same concept to all of my Farm Adoption Farms.
Our Signature coffee, Ladang Mariah from our first farm in Mariah Dolok and our current farm in Pematang Purba, Simalungun. We chose F1 certified seed from ICCRI, the Research Center in Jember. Red Bourbon and Red Caturra are interplanted with leguminous shade trees so the fruit ripens slowly. This organic crop has a consistently higher brix score overall.
