The island of Bourbon was a French dependency in 1664. To highlight the hegemony of the French Bourbon dynasty, it was renamed the island of Reunion after the French Revolution in 1792.

In the 18th century, the French planted coffee on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, then known as bourbon. As a result, the tree species mutated. Compared with ordinary bourbon, pointed bourbon has smaller leaves, smaller and sharper coffee fruit, and the shape of the tree is as shallow as a Christmas tree, so it is named Laurina. Is the most primitive bourbon variety subspecies (Sub-Variety), from Madagascar (Madagascar) next to the island of Reunion (Reunion), coffee leaves and plants are shorter than the general, coffee is also smaller grains and pointed body, is also said to be the parent of the mocha species, is now the source of coffee in Latin America.

In the 18th century, pointed bourbon coffee was very expensive, with extremely low production, excellent flavor and high price. Loved by European royals, especially when the Bourbon dynasty Louis XV claimed to be the best coffee in the world, princes and aristocrats flocked to it and flocked to it.

In the 19th century, the coffee growing industry was almost destroyed by several severe hurricanes and coffee tree infectious diseases. Pointed body bourbon once disappeared on the world coffee stage and became history and legend.

Until 1999, Japanese coffee experts went to the island to find the remains of this coffee, but failed. Later, after years of hard work, local botanists on the island finally found this unique wild mother tree, so that the tree species was gradually cultivated and opened the way to his revival.

It was not until the 20th century that scientists discovered that the amount of caffeine in pointed bourbon was only half that of Arabica.

The average Arabica coffee contains about 1.2% caffeine, 2.2% robusta coffee, and only 0.6% pointed bourbon, so it can be called a natural decaffeinated coffee tree.
