Yellow bourbon and red bourbon are well known, but pink bourbon may be a little unfamiliar. At the 2017 Shanghai Hotelex exhibition, I was lucky enough to drink a pink bourbon that killed many Colombia roses at the Colombia coffee feast. Only then did I know that there was such a superb coffee variety.

Bourbon Coffee-Pink Bourbon

Pink bourbon, as its name suggests, is the romantic pink color of coffee cherries when ripe. It belongs to a very rare new variety. It is bred by crossing red bourbon and yellow bourbon. Bourbon powder is rare because it is difficult to maintain its beautiful pink color, sometimes harvesting orange bourbon, because the color of the coffee fruit is ultimately determined by recessive genes in the pollen grain. Among the pollen grains we selected for hybridization, there were both yellow and red genes that tended to yellow bourbon, and these were recessive genes that easily interfered with each other.

At present, pink bourbon can be seen in Colombia and Guatemala. Take this batch of powder bourbon coffee as an example. About 1800 coffee trees produce about 1.8kg of fresh fruit per tree in one season. After peeling meat treatment, about 0.36kg of coffee beans are obtained. In a normal season, the crop yields less than 650kg.

Bourbon Coffee-Bourbon

Before introducing pink bourbon, let's briefly talk about what bourbon coffee is. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon until 1789. Bourbon, which is one of the oldest extant coffee varieties along with Typica, has green fruits that turn bright red when ripe.

Bourbon Coffee-Red Bourbon

Red Bourbon After the general coffee tree blossoms, the color change of the coffee fruit is: green> turn slightly yellow> turn slightly orange> turn mature red> turn ripe dark red, so some people call it "red bourbon species", in fact, red bourbon, that is, we generally call Bourbon species. Bourbon, grown at higher altitudes, usually has a better aroma, a brighter acidity, and even a red wine flavor.

Bourbon is a coffee tree species belonging 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 Coffee-Yellow Bourbon

The yellow bourbon variety is a cross between bourbon 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. Yellow Bourbon, yellow when ripe, originally found in Brazil, now grown mainly in Brazil. It is thought that it may have been mutated by crossing the red-fruited Bourbon species with a yellow-fruited variety of iron-pica called Amerelo de Botocatu.

Palate characteristics: sweet soft fruit sweet, obvious nutty flavor, balanced soft acidity, bitter slightly clean, rich chocolate aroma and nutty flavor, bright and refreshing taste.
