Laurina coffee, a dwarf mutation of Bourbon, carries a fascinating history. Classified in the 1940s, it originates from Réunion Island, situated to the east of Madagascar. Its most distinguishing feature is its remarkably low caffeine content, setting it apart from the coffee norm. However, this unique quality comes with a trade-off, as Laurina is especially vulnerable to leaf rust, dissuading many coffee producers from widespread cultivation. Also known as 'Bourbon Pointu,' it derives its name from the island's former designation, 'Bourbon,' and the unique elongated, pointed shape of its coffee beans.
A fun fact about Laurina coffee is its tree shape, resembling Christmas trees, adding a touch of charm to its already exceptional character.
