Introduction to Bourbon Coffee Varieties by FrontStreet Coffee
When it comes to coffee beans, besides the renowned Blue Mountain and Geisha varieties, there is one "colorful" coffee that can be considered the royalty of coffees - Bourbon coffee. Bourbon coffee itself has many classifications, let's explore them together!
The name Bourbon coffee originates from the island where it was first cultivated. In 1715, France transplanted round-shaped Yemen Mocha coffee beans to Bourbon Island on the east coast of Africa (renamed Reunion Island after the French Revolution), hence giving it the name Bourbon. Then in 1717, the French brought another batch of round-shaped Bourbon seedlings from Yemen, which became the predecessor of Bourbon coffee.
In 1732, the British East India Company brought Bourbon coffee seedlings from Yemen to Saint Helena Island for cultivation. During the 1860s and 1870s, Brazil in South and Central America first introduced the Bourbon variety, gradually replacing Typica. Bourbon then rapidly expanded northward to other regions in South and Central America.
After 1900, French missionaries introduced Bourbon coffee from Bourbon Island to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and other places. Today, Bourbon coffee has become one of the main forces in high-quality coffee worldwide.
Bourbon Coffee Classifications and Flavors
Bourbon coffee is not actually a single variety. Compared to Typica coffee, Bourbon coffee has more abundant variations, such as Caturra, Pacas, and Pointed Bourbon, all of which are outstanding among them. Additionally, the reason it's called "colorful coffee" is because Bourbon varieties are divided into Red Bourbon, Yellow Bourbon, and Pink Bourbon. Below, FrontStreet Coffee will introduce several of the most classic varieties.
Red Bourbon
After Red Bourbon coffee trees flower and fruit, the color change of coffee cherries follows: green > light yellow > light orange > mature red > darker ripe red, which is what we generally refer to as the Bourbon variety. Bourbon varieties grown at high altitudes typically have superior aroma and bright acidity, with flavors that can even resemble red wine when tasted.
