Bourbon Pointu Reunion Island

Bourbon Pointu Grand Cru de La Réunion is dominated by red fruits. Remarkably refined and complex. The least caffeinated variety grown on an oceanic island, Bourbon Pointu offers a cup that combines extreme sweetness, long finish and powerful aroma.

This is the crazy story of a resurrection. Reunion Island, an exceptional volcanic soil, is the cradle of a unique and rare variety, the Laurina known as Bourbon Pointu because of the shape of its shrub. Fragile, not very productive and capricious, it did not resist to modernity and disappeared. But, a little more than 10 years ago, some producers decided otherwise, and brought back the source. Patrice and Nadia De Berge are among them. Today, they cultivate a 3,500m2 plot of land and produce less than 400kg of coffee per year.
