Bourbon species, which are native to bourbon or Ethiopia, are susceptible to insect pests and diseases and have low yields. Some data show that yellow bourbon produces more than red bourbon and orange bourbon, but red bourbon is the most common variety. Bourbon species are closely related to SL28,Typica and Cattura. Because it produces less in the right environment, it tends to produce very high-quality cups (there is evidence that lower yields tend to lead to higher quality, because plants can absorb nutrients from the land more effectively).

The typical bourbon species is characterized by low alcohol (low body), balance (balanced), and obvious sweetness (sweet). It is a good base bean for espresso coffee.
