Bourbon is a botanical variety of the Coffea Arabica variety that first appeared on the island of Bourbon, now Réunion. Some of the best Latin-American coffees are from Bourbon and Typica stock.

Among our two plantations, we grow approximately 10% Typica. Experts widely concur that Old Arabicas like those grown on our plantations produce a finer cup
