The Yellow Bourbon bean variety probably takes its name from a single coffee tree presented by the Dutch to King Louis XIV of France in 1713. Seedlings were later transported to the French Island of Bourbon, now called Reunion.

This is a Yellow Bourbon coffee grown on the Daterra Farm which consists of 216 micro farms each with individual characteristics. They are leaders in sustainable production and innovation in the coffee industry, and were the first farm in Brazil to become Rainforest Alliance certified.

We roast this Brazil Bourbon Coffee medium to bring out its subtle medium body with a sweet caramel and chocolate richness.

H.R. Higgins sources all of its coffee through long-established relationships with individual coffee farms, cooperatives and trusted coffee partners. In most cases, we have direct relationships with farmers which span decades.

Sustainability is a hugely important factor to us as a business and now, more generally in the wider coffee industry. The most important part of the entire coffee process is that the coffee farmers, their families and their communities all benefit from our relationships. Specifically, we work with farms that care for the local environment, and support both their workers and their families. This is the first and most crucial step in the process of producing exceptional coffee.
