CATIE-R4    Theobroma cacao

Derivation: CATIE.
Location: CATIE, Costa Rica.

Notes:  CATIE clones names were previously included in the ICGD as ICGD preferred names. As the CATIE names are now known to be accession names the synonymy has been altered for those clones with pre-exsiting names (as advised by Bartley, 1998a [BAR98A]). CATIE remains the ICGD preferred name for selections made at CATIE.

 FLAVOUR

 Wilbert Phillips-Mora et al., 2013
Roast: 126 °C for 25 mins
Flavour: It has an initial acidity that is a cross between fruit acid and a mineral acid (like Papua-New Guinea acidity). Has a shift to the center taste of a very aromatic and floral woody note like a fragrant cedar woody character. Chocolate is moderate with only moderate astringency but more bitterness. It is a very interesting flavor bean type.
