Arara Coffee Variety

Arara is a leaf rust and disease resistant variety that was developed by Fundação Procafé in Brazil. The variety was released in 2012 after 15 years of research but was actually discovered as a naturally occurring cross. It is a hybrid of Yellow Catuai and Obatã, from which it gets its disease resistance. Arara has become a very popular variety in Brazil due to its yellow cherries, compact size, high yields, and very good cup quality.
