About the Bourbon Variety

Bourbon is one of the world's most celebrated Arabica varieties, originating from the island of Réunion (formerly Bourbon Island). It is highly valued in specialty coffee for its exceptional sweetness, balanced acidity, creamy body, and elegant complexity.

When cultivated at high elevations, Bourbon develops refined flavours of caramel, chocolate, stone fruits, berries, and floral notes, making it one of the most sought-after varieties among coffee professionals and enthusiasts.
