Flavor Description

This Yellow Bourbon from Mantiqueira displays a rare delicacy for Brazilian coffee. The entry brings ripe apricot and yellow-fruit sweetness, transitioning to full almond cream and toffee aromas, with smooth acidity and well-defined layers.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Recommended water temperature 90–92°C, ratio 1:15. Higher temperature draws out the Yellow Bourbon's distinctive bright sweet layers.
  • Highlight: Yellow Bourbon's skin turns yellow when ripe, and its sugar content is typically high — ideal for those seeking high sweetness with low bitterness.
