The characteristics of Yellow Bourbon Coffee A brief introduction to the planting Environment of Queen's Manor in Brazil

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.

Pan Qizuo, a professional coffee grower, provided us with a clue that there are local yellow coffee trees that are more than 20 years old. We personally went to the scene to inspect and collect fruit samples. It is more obvious that the shape and leaf shape and color of this part of the tree are indeed different from those introduced by Yang Fakuan, and the grower's statement on the age of coffee planting was also made before 2000. This proves that there is a bourbon variant of yellow coffee in the original old varieties.

In 2012, more than 200 kilograms of yellow bourbon introduced by Yang Fakuan were collected for taste analysis. It is found that: 1, the alcohol and degree are high, which can be comparable with the old local varieties of bourbon (non-yellow coffee); 2, the acidity is moderate; 3, the fragrance is gentle and the texture is delicate; 4. The taste is long and clear.
