Origins of Bourbon Coffee

Bourbon coffee beans are named after the island of Bourbon, now called La Réunion, a region of France in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Like Typica and all varieties of Arabica, Bourbon plants originated from Yemen, which, of course, spread across the world to be grown in many colonial states, eventually reaching Bourbon Island.

Bourbon beans were then spread throughout Africa and Latin America. Today, they're cultivated in numerous countries, including Brazil, Rwanda, and Colombia. With each region, Bourbon gains another set of unique flavors to an already diverse profile.

HowBourbon Coffee Beans Taste

Because Bourbon coffee is grown in so many other Bourbon-related varieties, it's difficult to determine precisely what it tastes like. Generally, Bourbon comes in three distinct cherry types: Red, Pink, and Yellow Bourbon. The colors of these Bourbon mutations distinguish slight differences in the brews their beans produce. Here's a brief breakdown:

• Red Bourbon offers a smooth, silky cup, full body, and a nutty, creamy sweetness.
• Yellow Bourbon provides a strong tropical fruit flavor with an almost juicy acidity and consistency.
• Pink Bourbon is a hybrid of the two other varieties, combining the silky texture of the red with the floral, fruity notes of the yellow.

What Makes Bourbon Coffee Special?

Now, let's get into the ways Bourbon coffee differs from other beans out there. Here's a quick list to help you before trying your first brew of Bourbon — the coffee, not the alcohol:

• Despite its high susceptibility to coffee leaf rust, farmers grow it around the world at high altitudes because of its high potential for producing quality beans. Talk about risk versus reward.
• It is known to be a highly versatile coffee bean, able to produce excellent light, medium, and dark roasts. This makes it an easy canvas for producers to create consistently delicious roasted coffee.
• Since Bourbon coffee is grown across regions of South and Central America, East Africa, and beyond, these beans can produce all types of flavors. Explore and experiment to find the Bourbon coffee you enjoy most.
