Bourbon

Around 1708, the Netherlands gives Typica coffee seedlings to France. Begin in 1715, France cultivate typica seedlings on the island of Réunion (formerly known as Bourbon Island). In this Island, typica coffee seedlings are growing well and the harvest increased by 30%. However, the coffee plants mutated genetically because influenced by natural conditions.

Typica mutated produce shorter trees. The fruits are relatively smaller, denser and ripe faster. The ripe fruits are red, yellow, to orange and has a sweeter taste. The fruit is at risk of falling out when it rains or is windy.

The fruit is so fragile but it can produce a cup of coffee with classic enjoyment. Therefore, bourbon is often referred as “the coffee of coffee”.
