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 Bourbon Island, 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), and because the two ends of the bean 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.

Popular with many coffee lovers, the legendary coffee bean ─ natural semi-decaf coffee variety bourbon pointed body, caffeine is lower than ordinary coffee beans, loved by King Louis XV of France. The pointed Bourbon, which grows on the French island of Reunion, is an ancient coffee tree.

Because of his low caffeine but not mellow flavor, he even praised the bourbon pointed body with the description of "a thousand cups can sleep well". Bourbon Pointu pointed bourbon, whose scientific name is Laurina, is the most primitive bourbon subspecies (Sub-Variety). The leaves and plants of coffee trees are shorter than ordinary. Coffee is also smaller and pointy.

It is said that he is also the parent of mocha and is now the root of coffee trees in Latin America. According to very low caffeine, generally speaking, there is about 1.2% caffeine in Arabica, 2.2% in Robsta and only 0.6% in Laurina due to low yield.
