In general, Bourbon beans [red bourbon][yellow bourbon][French missionary] are relatively similar in flavor, with obvious dark chocolate, cocoa, nut, caramel flavor, soft acidity and low bitterness.

Bourbon is grown in different regions, because of the influence of microclimate, soil quality, planting environment and other terroir factors, which will make the flavor direction slightly different. Kenya's volcanic ash soil has a high phosphoric acid content, which makes the French missionary have the acidity of tropical fruits, and at the same time continues the bourbon flavor, which makes the flavor of this bean more complex. I'll share it with you here today, hoping to help you ~
