Among the many varieties of coffee in Brazil, yellow bourbon is one of the most outstanding varieties. The general bourbon will turn from green to yellow and turn red, but the appearance of yellow bourbon will only stay yellow. The yellow bourbon grown at high altitudes and treated by sun has excellent flavor.

Brazil Chacal Yellow Bourbon is a clean water estate (Aguas Claras) in the Minas Llcinea region. Due to the excellent water quality of the area where the estate is located, the coffee produced has excellent standards.

Pulped Nature gives this yellow bourbon from Aguas Claras its honey-like sweetness without the over-fermented, unpleasant flavor. The nose has light citrus aromas, balanced and supple acidity, rich chocolate aromas and nutty flavors, and a refreshing taste. This coffee bean is a Brazilian yellow bourbon that we recently found with high cost performance. Generally speaking, the price of yellow bourbon is much higher. Of course, its unique sweetness and thickness are much better than the new world species or red bourbon commonly used in Brazil, especially in the throat. You can feel a warm nutty taste.

Bourbon species, native to Bourbon Island (now Reunion Island) in the Indian Ocean, is a mutant subspecies of Typica, which is the oldest extant coffee variety, and the green fruit will appear bright red when ripe, while the yellow bourbon species is a cross between Bourbon species and other varieties. Because of its low yield and poor weather resistance, it is not widely cultivated. However, when planted at high altitudes, it will have excellent flavor performance, which is more common in recent years.

Fazenda Rainha

In 2011, the estate won the Brazilian COE competition. The Carvalho Dias family owns the famous and respected coffee family. Carvalho Dias has won prizes every year since the first Brazilian COE competition in 1999. It has won more than 12 prizes in 7 years. In 2004, it even won the championship, 9th place, 11th place, etc. Many large and small estates in Brazil.

For many years, it has been difficult to win the award, but this family's manor has won many awards year after year. Even the Queen Manor Fazenda Rainfa bought by Osher also enjoys a brilliant record: runner-up in 2000, third place in 2001 and 29th place in 2005. Up to now, Queen Manor has won three awards.

Carvalho Dias family and founding member of the Brazilian Fine Coffee Association, for the quality of coffee and environmental protection is evident, in the family farm, the use of natural waterfalls to develop pollution-free hydropower, self-sufficient electricity demand (Another award-winning member of the family was named Falls Manor after this waterfall.) Churches, classrooms, nurseries, medical stations, maintenance of native flora and fauna, and continuous afforestation... take Queen Manor for example. Environmental protection is quite thorough. Because the terrain is high and not flat, it is impossible to use machines to harvest fruits. And planted low yield high quality bourbon species, as the essence of Brazil's high quality coffee representative estate!

Coffee processing system of Queen Manor:

The ripe cherries are picked by hand on the cloth pocket to avoid touching the ground. The coffee fruits harvested on the same day must be sent to the processing field affiliated to the estate for semi-sun treatment.(Pulped Natural), picked by hand and wrapped in a cloth, to avoid earthy taste and any improper fermentation smell, when these harvested coffee fruits arrive at the treatment site, immediately "washing": the coffee fruit is washed clean, and according to the bean size to screen out unqualified or dried fruit (bóia beans), sifting qualified beans, continue to go to the skin removal action (using pulper machine).

There are 200 acres of yellow wave coffee trees planted in the estate. The rolling mountains make large-scale mechanical harvesting impossible, so all coffee here needs to be harvested by hand.

The estate is semi-washed, dried in racks and baked in dryers, mechanically screened and hand-screened, and a lot of work requires farm employees to live on the farm year-round. All employees and their families can enjoy housing, health care and education benefits here.

The estate is a member of a medium-sized farm organization in the Grama Valley that exports bourbon varieties of fine coffee. The organization has offices in nearby Pocos de Caldas and a state-level cup-testing laboratory complete with a large warehouse. The organization also collaborates with local universities and other institutions to conduct research, including Lavras University, where Dr. Flavio Borem is known to come from the Agricultural Research Center.
