Rare natural low-caffeine bourbon pointed body

Bourbon, a French dependency in 1664, was named Bourbon to highlight the French Bourbon dynasty. It was renamed the island of Reunion (French: La R é union) 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 the average bourbon, the pointed bourbon has smaller leaves, smaller and sharper coffee fruit, and the shape of the tree is as shallow as a Christmas tree (scientific name Laurina).
