The Coffee
The Yellow Bourbon bean variety is thought to take its name from a single coffee tree. In 1713, King Louis XIV was presented with a coffee tree by the Dutch. Seedlings from this tree were later transported to the French Island of Bourbon which is now called Reunion.
This Yellow Bourbon coffee grown is on the Daterra Farm. The farm is made up of 216 micro farms, each bringing its own individual characteristics. The Daterra Farm Cooperative are world leaders in sustainable production and innovation in the coffee industry. They were the first farm in Brazil to become Rainforest Alliance certified.
We roast this Brazil Yellow Bourbon dark to bring out its delectable smoothness and flavours of rich dark chocolate with blackcurrant and plum notes.








Our philosophy on choosing our coffee range
My grandfather had a vision. Back in the 1930s when he was working as a manager at the Kenya Coffee Company coffee was not seen as a speciality at all. He wanted to start his own business and in his diary he wrote:
The Art of Fresh Coffee: Why Beans is the Best Choice and the Importance of Roasting Date
There's something undeniably captivating about the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
In this blog post, we'll explore why fresh coffee reigns supreme over its counterparts and why the roasting date takes precedence over the best-before date on all of our H.R.Higgins coffee bags.
