Catiguá MG2 was created by the breeding program the Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária de Minas Gerais (EPAMIG) in Brazil. It is a cross between Timor Hybrid UFV 440-10 x Catuaí Amarelo IAC 86, developed to combine resistance to coffee leaf rust with high cup quality. In particular, it has demonstrated higher cup quality than some traditional varieties, incuding Bourbon, at lower elevations.
