Learn how to try Bourbon Pointu coffee, a rare, award-winning low-caffeine Arabica coffee from Réunion, a small island off the coast of Madagascar.
Walk into any gourmet coffee roastery, and you’ll see no shortage of claims that their beans are award-winning, the best of the best, or exceptionally rare.
The island has been a French overseas territory since the 1600s, when it was known as Bourbon, in honor of Henry IV from the French house of Bourbon. By the time of the Bourbon reign, France’s coffee culture was booming, and Paris had hundreds of cafes serving as social hubs. This created a surge in coffee consumption, with tropical French colonies capable of growing coffee crops coming under pressure to meet the demand.
The estate makes two kinds of coffee: Bourbon Pointu la Kour , and Bourbon Rond la Kour. The former is fruitier and lighter, the latter is heavier with notes of chocolate. Bourbon Pointu la Kour is grown on the island’s high-elevation slopes, gaining its fruity notes from the young, nutrient-rich soil around the volcano. Bourbon Rond — “round Bourbon” — is grown at lower elevations closer to the cafe.
