Bourbon: This Arabica variety originally comes from Yemen and was cultivated by the French on the island of Bourbon (now Réunion), from where it travelled to South America and Africa under the name Bourbon. The young Bourbon leaf is brownish-red and only later changes its colour to green. The leaves of the Bourbon variety are unrolled. The tea is characterised by a large, very voluminous leaf with a russet colour and a golden-orange infusion and, compared to the Kent varieties, has a mild, light and fruity touch.
