Introduction to the varieties of Qianjie-bourbon coffee

Bourbon (English name Bourbon)

Bourbon is the product of a genetic mutation of the original Tybika species on the island of Reunion, and it is also the patrilineal and even paternal variety of many popular Latin American coffee varieties, including Kaddura, Kaduai, Pacas, New World, etc. Bourbon is still popular in Latin America today, crossing the ocean to Africa and taking root in Rwanda and Burundi. The ripe fruits of bourbon are mostly red, and there are also yellow or orange varieties. The output of bourbon is about 20% to 30% higher than that of Tibica; although the flavor is slightly sweeter and sometimes more balanced, the two varieties of coffee are generally very similar.

Compared with the tin card species, the bourbon species has wider leaves and denser growth. although the seed setting is higher than the tin card, the harvest time is also 2 years, which is also a variety with less yield, but it has a high-quality taste, like the sour taste of red wine, and the aftertaste is sweet. Coffee bean granules are large in shape, uniform in size, uniform in color and glossy. In order to facilitate harvesting, farmers will prune coffee trees to no more than 150 centimeters.

Generally speaking, bourbon coffee mainly changes from green fruit to ripe bright red fruit, which is what we have heard of (red bourbon). The fruit is relatively short and round, also known as round bourbon, with high density of pulp and seeds, high sweetness and bright acidity. But in addition to red bourbon, there are actually yellow bourbon (Yellow Bourbon) and rare orange bourbon (orange Bourbon) and rare pink bourbon (Pink Bourbon).

Red bourbon (Red Bourbon)

Bourbon is bourbon, why is it specially named red bourbon?

In fact, after the original bourbon coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the fruit color changes from green to light yellow, gradually to a slight orange, and finally to ripe (red) and more mature (dark red), so it is specially called (red bourbon) in order to distinguish it from other bourbon species (pink bourbon, yellow bourbon, etc.). On the other hand, bourbon suggests that growing at an altitude of more than 1200 meters will significantly outweigh the flavor of bourbon beans grown below 1000 meters.

Yellow Bourbon,Bourbon Amarello is a unique bourbon variety in Sao Paulo, Brazil, mainly because the ripening consequence does not turn red, but appears orange, so it is named (yellow bourbon). If Huang Bobang is planted at high altitude, it will have a great flavor. It has swept the Brazilian "extraordinary Cup" competition for two consecutive years, and almost all of the top three prizes have been won by Huang Bobang, which is popular in the boutique coffee industry. Yellow bourbon flavor, usually with nuts and chocolate, acidity is uniform and supple, bitter feeling is weak and clean, the whole is bright and refreshing.

Pink bourbon (Pink Bourbon)

After reading the introduction of red bourbon and yellow bourbon, it can be inferred that pink bourbon is named because the ripe fruit is pink. Pink bourbon is a very rare variety bred by the mixture of red bourbon and yellow bourbon. The main reason why it is so rare is that the yellow genes of yellow bourbon and the red gene of red bourbon are recessive genes, which are easy to interfere with each other, making pink bourbon not easy to produce. In addition, pink bourbon is very similar to immature red bourbon and is not easy to be recognized. mixed together, so the yield is rare. The disease resistance of pink bourbon is actually very good, and the taste is also very special, there are some lilies and obvious lychee sweetness, very amazing.

Knowledge: Arabica coffee is generally thought to be originated from the Ethiopian plateau, widely distributed in the tropics, after repeated mutation and breeding, derived many varieties.
