Details
The Bourbon bean was introduced in 1708 when the French planted coffee on the island of Bourbon (in the middle of the Indian Ocean, now called Reunion Island). The original Dutch variety of coffee bean adapted to its new environment to form a superior coffee plant that yields 20% to 30% more harvest. The Brazilians planted this new variety in the late 1800s, and it spread across Latin America, primarily in El Salvador - known as the Bourbon Country.
These organically grown coffee beans are produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. The beans are selected for roasting at their peak ripeness, and the ripe cherry fruit is pulped, fermented and sun-dried with expert skill before it is packaged and shipped.
The growers use 7.5 pounds of the ripe fruit to make one pound of the finished coffee beans, and the concentrated richness of this product makes it a coffee drinkers' dream.
KRKN Coffee is not in the crowded coffee business, but we are always working to find great products for our customers. We want to share what we think is a superior Arabica Bourbon coffee bean. Enjoy!
