Bourbon:
- Variety and Origin: Rwandan Bourbon is a coffee variety that originated from the Bourbon variety, which has its roots
in the island of Bourbon (now Réunion) in the Indian Ocean. Bourbon coffee plants were introduced to Rwanda
during the colonial era and have since thrived in the country’s unique terroir. - Flavor Profile: Rwandan Bourbon Coffee is celebrated for its exceptional cup quality and distinct flavor profile. It often
exhibits a well-balanced acidity, medium body, and a range of flavor notes that can include citrus, red fruits, floral
undertones, and even hints of chocolate and caramel. The flavor profile can vary based on the specific growing
regions within Rwanda. - Growing Conditions: Rwanda’s high-altitude regions, with their volcanic soils, cool temperatures, and abundant
rainfall, provide excellent conditions for cultivating Bourbon coffee. The elevation ranges from approximately 1,500 to
2,500 meters (4,900 to 8,200 feet) above sea level, allowing the coffee cherries to develop slowly, resulting in
complex flavors and vibrant acidity.
