Bourbon

The Bourbon variety is a true aristocrat in the world of coffee, with a lineage that dates back to the early 18th century. Although the name may bring to mind a popular drink, Bourbon owes its name to the island of Île Bourbon (today's Reunion) in the Indian Ocean, where French missionaries first began to cultivate this unique variety. Since then, Bourbon has spread around the world, especially in Latin America and Africa, where it has become the basis for many famous and appreciated coffees.

In terms of taste, Bourbon is a real treat for coffee lovers. The beans of this variety offer sweet, well-balanced notes of caramel, chocolate and delicate fruits, often with floral accents. Bourbon coffee has a pleasant, moderate acidity and a creamy texture that makes it not only refined but also pleasant to drink. It is no wonder that Bourbon is one of the most appreciated varieties by baristas and coffee lovers around the world.

Bourbon Variants – Variety of Flavors

Over the years, Bourbon has become the basis for the development of several interesting variants that have gained popularity in different coffee-growing regions. Here are the most important ones:

Red Bourbon – a fruity explosion

Red Bourbon is one of the most famous Bourbon varieties. It owes its name to the red color of ripe fruit. This variety is famous for its exceptional sweetness and intense fruit notes, such as red berries, raspberries or cherries, with a delicate chocolate finish. It grows mainly in the highlands of Central America and Africa, where it copes perfectly with the mountain climate. A cup of Red Bourbon is like a fruit dessert with a touch of chocolate - something for those who like intense flavors.

Yellow Bourbon – a sweet alternative

Yellow Bourbon is a more unusual variant that produces yellow fruit instead of red fruit. This small detail, however, has a significant impact on the coffee's flavor profile. Yellow Bourbon is often even sweeter than its red cousin, with notes of caramel, honey, and subtle tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. This is a coffee for those who appreciate deep sweetness and a smooth texture, without harsh acidity.

Orange Bourbon – a unique delicacy

Orange Bourbon is a rare and highly valued Bourbon variety, known primarily in the El Salvador region. Its fruit, as the name suggests, is orange in color, which translates into interesting flavor notes. In a cup of Orange Bourbon, you can find a combination of sweetness with citrus accents and a delicate floral finish. This is a variant that will work great for those who like slightly more exotic flavors in their coffee.
