It was first found in the town of Palestine, Cymbidium Province, Colombia, and is mainly planted in Cymbidium of Colombia at present. It is a natural hybrid of yellow bourbon and red bourbon, in which yellow bourbon and red bourbon are dominant traits of dominant gene expression and have strong reproductive stability, while the new hybrid cultivars are recessive traits of recessive gene expression. The offspring produced by cross reproduction are very prone to character separation.

Moreover, coffee trees rely on pollen for sexual reproduction, and other dominant tree species are very easy to pollinate bourbon, which seriously affects the flowering and fruiting of the next season. This is the main reason why yellow bourbon and red bourbon are more common and pink bourbon is less seen.

Speaking of which, someone may have to ask, "so if you drink pink bourbon this year, there will be no next year?" In fact, this is not the case. for one thing, the pace of producing powdery bourbon from natural hybridization between yellow bourbon and red bourbon will not stop; second, almost all Arabica coffees are self-pollinated, that is, the coffee flowers and pollen to be pollinated may come from the same plant, or even the same flower, which greatly improves the stability of the expression of recessive traits. Therefore, in order to avoid genetic contamination of other varieties, a relatively independent planting environment is very necessary when planting powder bourbon.

There is another saying about the gene of Colombia. Some studies have found that it is produced by the natural cross between Colombia and Kaddura. Caturra is an excellent variety of Bourbon, while Colombia, as a key coffee tree in Colombia, has obvious advantages, high yield and resistance to leaf rust, but mediocre flavor and lack of delicate sour and sweetness.

There is no denying that variety genes are important, but in the final analysis, coffee is still a crop. Its high quality comes from the combination of many factors, such as geographical environment, variety, planting maintenance, harvest and treatment, and so on.
