Description
– Yellow Bourbon, a variety of arabica coffee, prized for its sweet, fruity flavor profile and vibrant yellow cherries, discovered in 1930 on a Red Bourbon farm in Pederneiras, São Paulo, Brazil.
– Distinguished by its unique yellow fruit, Yellow Bourbon has gained recognition among coffee buyers and roasters due to its exceptional flavor and growing fascination with distinctive varietals.
– Yellow Bourbon’s history in Brazil includes a complex journey of cultivation and exposure within the market, with commercial cultivation focusing on seven varieties out of approximately 30 studied in 1945.
– Yellow Bourbon trees can grow up to 2.8 meters in height, exhibit early ripening, and thrive when grown at elevations of 1,000 meters or higher, with meticulous cultivation and post-harvesting practices.
– While Yellow Bourbon offers excellent quality potential, its lower to medium yields and vulnerability to coffee leaf rust require careful cultivation practices for optimal results.
