Introduction to Qianjie Coffee-Brazil Yellow bourbon

Bourbon Amarello/Yellow Bourbon: amarello (Latin yellow) is a yellow-skinned bourbon variety endemic to the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. Coffee fruits usually turn red when ripe, but yellow bourbon does not turn red and orange when ripe, hence its name.

Among the many varieties of coffee in Brazil, yellow bourbon is one of the most outstanding varieties. Generally speaking, yellow bourbon changes from green to yellow to red, but the appearance of yellow bourbon only stays in yellow. The yellow bourbon, which grows at high altitude and is sun-treated, has an excellent flavor.

Bourbon species, native to Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now known as Reunion Island), is the second species caused by Typica mutation. It belongs to the oldest existing coffee variety. The green fruit appears bright red when ripe, while the yellow bourbon species is derived from the cross between 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 (yellow bourbon), the ripening consequence is actually yellow, was first found in Brazil, and now mainly grows in Brazil. It is generally believed 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".
