Generally speaking, different varieties of bourbon beans [red bourbon] [yellow bourbon] [French missionaries] are similar in flavor, with obvious flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa, nuts and caramel, supple acidity and low bitterness.
After the early (prehistoric coffee) iron pickup was transplanted to Yemen, the bean shape changed from thin and pointed to round. It was named bourbon in 1715 after France transplanted round beans from Yemeni mocha to the island of Bourbon on the east coast of Africa (renamed Reunion after the French Revolution). Bourbon beans spread to Brazil and Central and South America in 1727, and the British transplanted Yemeni mochas to St. Helena Island (where Napoleon was later imprisoned) in 1732.
Generally speaking, bourbon is a coffee tree that belongs to a branch of Arabica species, generally bearing red fruit, called red bourbon, in addition to yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, yellow bourbon relatively low yield, but better quality.
Bourbon, the second species caused by the Typica mutation, is the oldest coffee variety in existence, and the green fruit appears bright red when it is ripe.
Compared with the tin card species, the bourbon species has wider leaves and denser growth. although the seed setting is higher than the tin card, the harvest time is also 2 years, which is also a variety with less yield, but it has a high-quality taste, like the sour taste of red wine, and the aftertaste is sweet. Coffee bean particles are large in shape, uniform in size, uniform in color and shiny. In order to facilitate harvesting, farmers will trim coffee trees to no more than 150 centimeters.
The propagation route of bourbon species
Introduced to Brazil in 1727 because of its low yield and easy to interfere with diseases, the bourbon species was introduced to Brazil around 1860 via Campinas in the south and rapidly expanded northward to other parts of South and Central America. In Latin America today, although most of the bourbon species have been basically replaced by their varieties (especially Caturra,Catuai and Mundo Novo, etc.), bourbon is still grown in El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru and other countries.
[red bourbon]
After the red bourbon general coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the color change of the coffee fruit is: green > turn yellowish > turn slightly orange > turn mature red > turn more ripe dark red, so some people also call it [red bourbon], in fact, red bourbon, that is, what we call bourbon species. Bourbon planted at high altitude usually has a better aroma, while the acid is brighter and even tastes like red wine.
[yellow bourbon]
On the other hand, the yellow bourbon species is a hybrid between the bourbon species 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.
Yellow Bourbon, Huang bourbon, the mature consequence is actually yellow, was first found in Brazil, and now mainly grows 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".
[French missionary Bourbon]
In Africa, French missionaries known as Spiritan (from the Holy Spirit) played an important role in the spread of the bourbon species. The first church was founded in Reunion in 1841 and a branch was established in Zanzibar in 1859, while from Zanzibar, a branch was established in Bagamoyo (along the coast of Tanzania, then known as Tanganyika) in 1862, St. Augustine (Kikuyu, Kenya) in 1862, and a branch in Bura (Taita Hills,Kenya) in 1893. The establishment of each chapter was accompanied by the planting of coffee seeds from Reunion.
Seedlings cultivated by Bura in 1899 were brought to another French church in Santa Cruz (near Nairobi), introduced to the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania in 1900, and distributed seeds to local residents who were willing to grow coffee. This is the origin of the so-called "missionary bourbon". Then the Kent species was introduced in 1920. Therefore, up to now, the coffee in Tanzania is mainly bourbon and Kent.
