Introduction of Qianjie-bourbon varieties

Coffee beans can be roughly divided into Arabica species and Roberta species and other varieties.

Bourbon is a variety of coffee trees, belonging to a branch of Arabica species. It is named according to the color of coffee fruit when it is ripe, such as red, yellow, orange, pink bourbon and so on. Among them, the output of orange bourbon is less, while that of pink bourbon is very little.

After leaving the island of Reunion, he set up new churches in several African countries, such as Zanzibar, Bagmoyo, St. Augustine, and Bra, and sowed coffee from the island of Reunion in each church. From then on, there was "bourbon coffee" on the African continent.
