What are the characteristics of the bourbon variety? What are the characteristics of flavor and taste? How is the planting environment?

(French: BOURBON) is a kind of coffee produced by growing coffee trees in bourbon cultivation of Arabica coffee.

Bourbon coffee was originally grown in Reunion, where it was also known as LE BOURBON before 1789.

Later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, it is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee producers in the world.

Bourbon coffee is usually produced between 3500 and 6500 feet above sea level (1062 mi 1972 m).

Bourbon species, native to Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now known as Reunion Island), is a secondary species of TYPICA mutation

It belongs to the oldest coffee variety in existence. The green fruit is bright red when it is ripe, while the yellow bourbon is derived from the cross between bourbon and other varieties.

Because of its low yield and relatively intolerant to wind and rain, it has not been widely planted. However, when planted in high altitude areas, it will have excellent flavor performance, which is more common in recent years.

The ripe fruit is yellow. It was first found in Brazil and now grows mainly in Brazil.

It is generally believed that it may have been mutated by a cross between a bourbon with red fruit and a variety of iron pickup with yellow fruit called "AMERELO DE BOTOCATU".

Among the many varieties of coffee in Brazil, Huang bourbon is one of the most outstanding varieties.

Generally speaking, bourbon will change from green to yellow to red, but the appearance of yellow bourbon will only stay in yellow. The flavor of yellow bourbon, which grows at high altitude and is treated by the sun, is excellent.
