What the Brand Says
Condor Ridge’s Caturra is grown in Southern California, where a small but dedicated group of producers are working to establish coffee as a viable domestic crop. Caturra, a compact variety known for its balanced cup profile is well-suited to the farm’s controlled growing conditions. Due to California’s climate, marked by lower humidity and greater temperature swings, cherry development is slower and more closely managed, often resulting in clean, structured cups that highlight what is possible with specialty production in California.Condor Ridge’s Caturra is grown in Southern California, where a small but dedicated group of producers are working to establish coffee as a viable domestic crop.
