Did you know that Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer and also the second-largest coffee consumer? Coffee produced in Brazil carries significant weight globally, with Brazil providing nearly 45% of the world's coffee bean production. Therefore, if Brazilian coffee suffers from drought seasons with poor harvests, it will affect global coffee bean prices.

Brazilian coffee beans are mainly used for espresso coffee blends and are an indispensable base bean. However, don't assume that all coffee produced in Brazil is of inferior quality—Brazil also produces specialty coffee beans.

Yellow Bourbon is the main specialty coffee variety in Brazil and also the best quality coffee variety in Brazil. Yellow Bourbon is the main contributor to Brazil's coffee success in the global market and has won numerous awards in competitions.

The name Bourbon comes from Bourbon Island in France, while Yellow Bourbon is a mutant variety of the Bourbon species. Although the coffee has excellent flavor, due to its vulnerability to wind, rain, and pests, its yield is extremely low, making it a standout presence among specialty coffees in Brazil.

The characteristics of Yellow Bourbon are quite distinctive. While most coffee cherries turn red when ripe, Yellow Bourbon matures to a yellow color, distinguishing it from many coffee varieties and earning it the name Yellow Bourbon. Yellow Bourbon has moderate body, nutty flavors, and a long-lasting aftertaste.
