Flavor description of Brazilian Bourbon Coffee introduction to the Grinding scale of Variety producing areas

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 at high altitude, it will have excellent flavor performance, which is more common in recent years.

Bourbon coffee (French: Caf é Bourbon) is a kind of coffee produced by growing coffee trees in bourbon cultivation of Arabica coffee. Bourbon coffee was originally grown in Reunion, which was also known as bourbon Island (. Le Bourbon) before 1789. Later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, it is now one of the two most popular producers of Arabica coffee in the world. Bourbon coffee is usually produced between 3500 and 6500 feet above sea level.

It can be understood that bourbon species is a branch of Arabica species, in addition to yellow bourbon, red bourbon, orange bourbon, etc. (in addition to Kaddura, Kaduai, etc.), bourbon species were first planted in bourbon island and Ethiopia. 80-1900 meters above sea level is more suitable for the growth of bourbon coffee beans. Relatively speaking, the output of yellow bourbon is relatively low, but the quality is better. At present, most of the yellow bourbon in Brazil and El Salvador are found in China.

The typical characteristics of bourbon species are low alcohol (low body), overall taste balance, and obvious fruit sweetness. It is also my personal preference for coffee.

Old bourbon coffee is grown on some estates in the Serrado district of Minas Greais state in southeastern Brazil. Old varieties of bourbon coffee grown on these estates, such as Capin Branco and Vista Allegre, are also sold on the market. Although they come from the same area, these coffees have their own characteristics. Capingblanco coffee is smoother than Vesta Allegre coffee, while Vesta Allegre coffee is strong and black, both of which have lower acidity. However, like all Brazilian coffee, they are most suitable for drinking when they are fresh and tender, because the older they are, the more acidic they are. These coffee growers have organized themselves into the Brazilian Special Coffee Association (the Speciality Coffee Association of Brazil).
