Where does bourbon coffee come from?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"coffee<\/p>\n

The origin of Bourbon coffee is uncertain<\/b>, due to numerou<\/span>s genetic mutations<\/b> and <\/span>cross-breeding <\/b>since its discovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, according to<\/span> World Coffee Research<\/span><\/a>, the first Bourbon coffee appeared in the <\/span>early 1700s<\/b>, imported by<\/span> French missionaries <\/b>to the <\/span>Bourbon Islands<\/b> (now Reunion Island), to which its name refers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This <\/span>Arabica variety<\/span><\/a> then spread to<\/span> Brazil<\/b> in the mid-19\u1d49 century, and then to<\/span> South and Central America<\/b>, crossing with<\/span> other bourbon varieties<\/b> from <\/span>India<\/b> and <\/span>Ethiopia<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many varieties of bourbon can now be found in<\/span> East Africa<\/b>, but none exactly match the variety found in <\/span>Latin America<\/b>. However, bourbon is still grown in <\/span>El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Peru<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n

Where does bourbon coffee grow?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bourbon coffee belongs to the<\/span> Typica Bourbon group<\/b>, a rather large coffee tree producing <\/span>small, fleshy cherries<\/b>. Its<\/span> large leaves <\/b>have<\/span> wavy edges<\/b> and<\/span> more secondary branches<\/b> than other coffee trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, despite its size, a bourbon coffee tree<\/span> produces few cherries<\/b>, as it is fairly <\/span>susceptible<\/b> to pests and diseases such as rust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
