Bourbon coffee originated on the island of Bourbon (now Réunion) in the Indian Ocean.

Bourbon coffee is known for its smooth, sweet flavor profile, often featuring notes of caramel, chocolate, and floral undertones. It typically has a medium body and acidity.

Bourbon plants tend to have smaller cherries and leaves compared to other varieties. They also have a lower yield but are prized for their exceptional cup quality.

Bourbon thrives in high-altitude regions with rich volcanic soil and consistent rainfall.
