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

The pointed bourbon is a variety derived from the island of Reunion. We know that the normal bourbon variety has a short round bean body, but in 1810 Laurina, a coffee farmer on the island of Bourbon, found that there was a short coffee in the garden, with smaller leaves, shaped like laurel leaves, coffee beans were also more pointed and thinner, and the yield was 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), because the ends of the beans were very sharp. Therefore, it is commonly known as the pointed body bourbon (Bourbon Pointu).

In 1993, Japanese bean hunters took the native pointed bourbon of the island of Reunion to Guatemala, gave 25 precious pointed bourbon seeds to the owner of New Glenda, and planted the rare coffee on the San Marcos volcano, which has the highest mountains in Central America (more than 4000 meters), fertile volcanic soil and a good micro-climate. As a result, the pointed bourbon of the dwarf plant began to survive in Guatemala, and bean hunters have been acquainted with the farmers for many years, so they have acquired 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.

In the past hundred years, Japanese coffee companies have a considerable influence on the history of coffee in the world. Forty years ago, bean hunters from the Japanese trading company came to Reunion, the birthplace of Bourbon, on a special bean-hunting trip to find the pointed bourbon that had "disappeared" for many years and found the few remaining pointed bourbon native species.

In 1993, Japanese bean hunters went to Guatemala to hand over 25 seeds to the landowner and planted this rare pointed bourbon on the San Marcos volcano. The fertile volcanic soil and good microclimate made the pointed bourbon of the dwarf plant begin to continue in Guatemala.

Finca Nueva Granada New Grande Manor is a century-old German manor in Guatemala located in San Marcos. After the civil war and many volcanic eruptions, the manor has been standing for a hundred years. The manor is surrounded by Tajumulco and Tacana, the tallest active volcano in Central America, with magnificent scenery but also covered by volcanic ash, which makes the coffee harvested on the estate particularly delicate and rich. The manor's water source comes from volcanic spring water, which is rich in minerals, and all water after washing is made from this natural water source, so re-fermentation has become a good reason.

The estate is committed to promoting Rainforest Alliance rainforest certification, the Child Protection Association, and a number of social care campaigns. A very respectable manor spirit.
