Colombian St. Louis Manor Bourbon Coffee introduction Pink Bourbon Coffee Flavor Story

Everyone is familiar with yellow bourbon and red bourbon, but may be a little strange to pink bourbon. At the 2017 Shanghai Hotelex Exhibition, I was lucky enough to drink a pink bourbon that killed many Colombian roses in summer at the Colombian coffee feast.

Bourbon coffee-bourbon species

Before introducing pink bourbon, let's briefly talk about what bourbon is. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon before 1789. Bourbon, along with Typica, is the oldest coffee variety in existence. The green fruit appears bright red when ripe.

Bourbon Coffee-Red bourbon

After the red bourbon general coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the color change of the coffee fruit is: green > turn yellowish > turn slightly orange > turn mature red > turn more ripe dark red, so some people also say [red bourbon], in fact, red bourbon, that is, what we call bourbon species. Bourbon planted at high altitude usually has a better aroma, while the acid is brighter and even tastes like red wine.

Generally speaking, bourbon is a coffee tree that belongs 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

On the other hand, the yellow bourbon species is a hybrid between the 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. Yellow Bourbon, Huang bourbon, the mature consequence is actually yellow, was first found in Brazil, and now mainly grows in Brazil. It is generally thought that it may have been mutated by a cross between a bourbon with red fruit and a variety of iron pickup with yellow fruit called "Amerelo de Botocatu".

Taste characteristics: sweet and smooth fruit sweetness, obvious nutty flavor, balanced and supple acidity, weak and clean bitterness, rich chocolate aroma and nutty flavor, bright and fresh taste.

The romantic pink of pink bourbon is born from the color genes in red bourbon and yellow bourbon. Because the proportion of pink under the interaction of red and yellow is very low, pink bourbon is even more commendable! The sweet and full aroma of blueberry is accompanied by the fragrant jasmine tea, which wanders around the base of the tongue like sugar, bringing stunning fruity and sweetness in the coffee.
