Bourbon species, native to Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now known as Reunion Island), is the second species caused by Typica mutation. It belongs to the oldest existing coffee variety. The green fruit appears bright red when ripe, while the yellow bourbon species is derived from the cross between 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.

Flavor: light citrus fruit aromas, rich cashew nut aromas, chocolate sweet aromas

Palate: sweet, soft and sour, thick and sweet on the palate

Bourbon default baking degree: medium baking

Because the mature fruit of bourbon is more balanced, the fruit is uniform, and the proportion of effective grade rice is higher, so it is loved by growers. Subsequently, farmers in nearby villages such as Mangliu and Manhai were also introduced one after another.

At present, the yellow coffee planted by the Dahongpo Cooperative has become a forest. Other villages are scattered into blocks.

From 2011 to 2012, in order to find out the variety of this part of the coffee, I personally went to Dahongpo to have a look. According to the collected samples and the morphological analysis of the trees, it can be determined that this part of the coffee tree introduced by Yang Fakuan is bourbon or bourbon variety Kaddura.

The main producing areas of Brazil are Minas Gerais MinasGerais, S ã o Paulo Sao Paulo, Bahia Bahia and Esp í rito Santo Espirito Santo, which account for 90% of the country's exports. Our common Santos Santos and Mochiana Mogiana are from S ã o Paulo. Syracuse Cerrado and South Minas Sul de Minas in Minas Gerais are rich in fine Brazilian coffee beans because of their high altitude. Silado is located on the west side of Minas Gerais, for a flat plateau. Altitude 750m--1200m. South Minas is the hilly woodland of 700m-1200m above sea level, and it is the earliest production area of Brazilian coffee. Due to the increase in labor costs, it is now mostly harvested by machinery, and it is also the earliest commercialized area of coffee. We can see many large exporters here. Bahia, located in the north of Brazil, mainly produces washing in Brazil, and Esprito Santo, near the sea, is the main export area of Brazilian Robusta varieties.
