Most likely a cross of yellow bourbon and red bourbon. It is a poor producing plant compared to red or yellow bourbon and for that reason it is very uncommon to find. However it can produce a very nice cup. One that is more similar in cup profile to red-fruited bourbons than yellow-fruited ones. Usually produces a balanced and sweet cup as a washed coffee with notes of orange, caramel or toasted nuts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis is true Pink Bourbon which came to Hawaii from El Salvador more than 60 years ago. It is genetically distinct from the variety bearing the same name from Colombia, which is not related to the bourbon variety at all, but is an Ethiopian Landrace that produces pink cherries. that variety is much more productive and also modertely disease resistent and for these reasons production of this variety has greatly increased the past decade, while True Pink or Orange Bourbons are increasing rare to find.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHala Tree Farm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text_img_swapping\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"about_txt_swapping\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012 Danielle and Jean came to Hawaii’s ‘Big Island’ for a week’s vacation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 years of corporate life Jean wanted a change of scenery. and needed something new and exciting, it was time for a new chapter in their lives.
