About Yellow Bourbon

The Bourbon variety originated from Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean (now known as Réunion Island) and is a sub-variety resulting from a mutation of Typica. Like Typica, it belongs to the oldest existing coffee varieties. When green fruits ripen, they turn bright red, while Yellow Bourbon is a hybrid of Bourbon with other varieties. Due to its lower yield and relatively poor resistance to wind and rain, it has not been widely cultivated.

However, when grown at high altitudes, it exhibits excellent flavor characteristics. In recent years, the Pulped Natural processing method has become more common. This makes FrontStreet Coffee's Brazil Natural Yellow Bourbon from Aguas Claras Estate not only have the rich sweetness similar to honey processing but also avoid unpleasant flavors from over-fermentation. The aroma has subtle citrus notes, balanced and gentle acidity, rich chocolate aroma and nutty flavors, with a refreshing mouthfeel.

This FrontStreet Coffee Brazil Aguas Claras Estate Natural Yellow Bourbon coffee bean is a Brazil Yellow Bourbon with excellent value for money that we recently discovered. Generally, Yellow Bourbon is priced considerably higher, but its unique sweetness and richness are indeed much better than the commonly used Mundo Novo or Red Bourbon varieties in Brazil. Especially in the aftertaste, you can feel a warm, lingering nutty flavor. Among Brazil's many coffee varieties, Yellow Bourbon is quite an outstanding mutation. While regular Bourbon turns from green to yellow to red, Yellow Bourbon's appearance remains yellow. Yellow Bourbon grown at high altitudes and processed naturally offers exceptional flavor.
