In 1715, the French transplanted the Yemeni mocha to the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar on the east coast of Africa. At that time, the island was called Bourbon.

The pointed bourbon is a variety derived from Reunion Island, we know that the normal bourbon variety, the bean body is short round, but in 1810 Bourbon Island coffee farmer Laurina found that there is a short coffee in the garden, the leaves are smaller, shaped like laurel leaves, the coffee beans are also more pointed and thinner, and the yield is less than the general bourbon. It was confirmed by botanists at that time that it was a new variety, so they used the name of the person who found her (Laurina), and because the two ends of the bean were very sharp. Therefore, it is commonly known as the pointed body bourbon (Bourbon Pointu).

Bourbon Pointu has two other names, Laurina and Leroy. The reason why it is called pointed bourbon is that the bean shape is long and narrow and both ends are pointed, while the native species bourbon (some people call it round bourbon) has a shorter bean body and a slightly oval outline. However, the biggest difference between the two is not in appearance, but in flavor and caffeine content; in simple terms, sharp bourbon is "good flavor, low caffeine content." According to statistics, for general coffee beans, the caffeine content of Arabica is 0.9%, Robasta is 1.6%, while sharp bourbon is only 0.6%, which is much lower than that of Arabica coffee and much lower than Robasta, which is a boon for many people who can't stand too much caffeine but love coffee.

In 1993, Japanese bean hunters took the native pointed bourbon of the island of Reunion to Guatemala and gave 25 precious pointed bourbon seeds to the owner of the New Glenda manor. the rare coffee was planted on the San Marcos volcano, which has the highest mountain range in Central America (more than 4000 meters), fertile volcanic soil and good micro-climate, so that the pointed bourbon of the dwarf plant began to be preserved in Guatemala. The bean hunter has been acquainted with the banker for many years, so he has made such an elegant original pointed bourbon exclusively outside Japan.

In addition to its unique appearance, the pointed Bourbon has some unique characteristics that make it a unique breed. She is a natural semi-decaf coffee. Generally speaking, Arabica has about 1.2% caffeine, while Robsta 2.2% Laurina has only 0.48%. The caffeine content is about half that of ordinary coffee, with unique fruit flavors, citrus, spices and cocoa flavors. Impressive. Pointed bourbon is definitely one of the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world.
