Bourbon is a variety of coffee trees belonging to a branch of arabica. According to the color of coffee fruit ripening to name, such as red, yellow, orange, pink bourbon and so on. Orange bourbon is produced less, while pink bourbon is produced very little.

The name Bourbon comes from the island of Reunion, where the French made three attempts to introduce coffee from Yemen in 1708, 1715 and 1718; however, it was the second and third transplants that survived and multiplied.

In 1841, a French missionary founded a church on the French island of Reunion. After leaving Reunion Island, he set up new churches in several African countries such as Zanzibar, Bagmoyo, St. Augustine and Bula, and planted coffee from Reunion Island in each church. From then on, there was also "Bourbon Coffee" on the African continent.

Colombia caffeine is traditionally known for its balance and acidity, and is often used as a base coffee because of its balanced flavor and low price.

But for now, we're going to refresh your stereotype of Colombia coffee! It can be peach, citrus, raspberry, flower, vanilla, black tea...

Juice explosion is no longer unique to African beans. Some excellent coffee farms or cooperatives with small yield and small cultivation area constantly study the planting and treatment of special varieties of fine coffee, so that Colombia coffee has a more distinct personality, while maintaining delicate taste, round acidity and sweet aftertaste, while some special treated rare varieties will make you remember more.

Pink Bourbon is first and foremost a bean that tastes "less than Colombia." Why? Because it tastes a little bit like Kenya, with the bright red fruit acidity.

Pink bourbon is a mixture of red bourbon and yellow bourbon. The success rate of mixing is relatively low, so the number of pink bourbon is relatively rare. It has strong disease resistance. Among them, yellow bourbon and red bourbon coffee have strong reproductive stability, while the new variety powder bourbon, which is a hybrid of the two, is difficult to produce stably. Because it is not easy to plant, the main processing of the manor is very careful. Washing and drying are all carried out on the roof. Every time the new fruit is picked, it will be processed as soon as possible, ensuring that the coffee flavor washed by water presents a high degree of cleanliness.

The pace of natural hybridization between yellow bourbon and red bourbon to produce pink bourbon does not stop, and almost all Arabica coffee is "self-pollinated", meaning that the coffee flower and pollen to be pollinated can come from the same plant, or even the same flower, which greatly improves the stability of recessive trait expression. Therefore, in order to avoid genetic contamination of other varieties, a relatively independent planting environment is necessary when planting powder bourbon.

Powdered bourbon coffee varieties were first discovered in Huila Palestine, Colombia, and are currently mainly grown in Huila, Colombia
