Renowned for its exceptional cup quality when grown at high altitudes, this C. arabica variety holds significant cultural and genetic importance globally.
Introduced by French missionaries in the 1700s on Bourbon Island, Bourbon coffee later spread to Latin America, where it mixed with related varieties from India and Ethiopia. While similar coffee types exist in East Africa, Latin America predominantly grows Bourbon-derived variants like Caturra, Catuai, and Mundo Novo
Bourbon is shade grown by Mauricio Paguaga at his farm in Mozonte between 1400-1500 MASL
