Introduction of Qianjie-bourbon varieties

The name bourbon comes from the island where it is grown. It was named bourbon in 1715 after France transplanted round beans from Yemeni mocha to the island of Bourbon on the east coast of Africa (renamed Reunion after the French Revolution). Then in 1717, the French shipped another batch of round bourbon seedlings from Yemen, which became the forerunner of bourbon coffee.

In 1732, the British East India Company took Bourbon coffee seedlings from Yemen and planted them on St. Helena Island. Between 1860 and 1870, Bourbon varieties were first introduced to Brazil in Central and South America, gradually replacing Tibica, and then Bourbon rapidly expanded northward to other parts of South and Central America.

After 1900, French missionaries introduced bourbon coffee from Bourbon to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and other places. Nowadays, bourbon coffee has become a main force of high-quality coffee in the world.

Bourbon coffee is not really a kind of coffee, compared with iron pickup, bourbon coffee has more and more varieties, such as Kaddura, Pacas, pointed bourbon and so on, are among the best. In addition, it is called "colorful coffee" because the bourbon species are divided into red bourbon, yellow bourbon and pink bourbon. Next, Xiao Yi will introduce some of the most classic ones for you.

Red bourbon

After the red bourbon coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the color change of coffee fruit is from green > to yellowish > to light orange > to ripe red > to ripe dark red, which is what we call bourbon species. Planted in bourbon at high altitude, it usually has a better aroma and bright acidity, and even tastes like red wine.

Yellow bourbon

Yellow bourbon is a unique bourbon variety in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. the fruit of coffee does not turn red after ripening, but orange, so it is called "yellow bourbon". Huang Bourbon, which is planted at high altitude, will have an excellent flavor performance. It has swept the Brazilian "extraordinary Cup" competition for two consecutive years, almost winning the top three prizes and sweeping the boutique coffee industry!

Powder bourbon

Pink bourbon is a mixture of red and yellow bourbon, which is very rare. Powdered bourbon has very strong disease resistance, but it is very difficult to get genetically. Once there is a red or yellow bourbon around, the original pink bourbon will turn red or yellow, so careful separation is needed to retain the unique color and characteristics of the variety.

Knowledge: iron pickup and bourbon, the two ancient varieties, have multiplied for three hundred years in different soil and water in the new world, creating thousands of varieties and hybrids.
