Vietnam's Golden Treasure: Yellow Bourbon Green Coffee from Cau Dat

In the world of coffee, Red Bourbon is a classic. But Yellow Bourbon is a legend.

For international buyers seeking to diversify their offerings with a truly unique Vietnamese origin, Cau Dat Bean proudly presents our flagship specialty product: Yellow Bourbon Green Coffee Beans. Sourced from the highest peaks of the Cau Dat region (1,650m), this is not just coffee; it is the "Golden Standard" of Vietnam's highlands.

1. The Rarity: Why Yellow Bourbon?

Unlike the common red-ripening cherries, Yellow Bourbon ripens to a brilliant golden-yellow hue. It is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety that is notoriously difficult to grow, requiring specific altitudes and care.

• Thinner Skin: The yellow skin is thinner than the red variety, allowing sunlight to penetrate deeper, often resulting in higher glucose and fructose production within the bean.

• The Result: A cup profile that is noticeably sweeter, cleaner, and more complex than traditional varietals.

2. The Terroir: A Perfect Match at 1,650m

Yellow Bourbon is fragile. It cannot survive in lowlands. It thrives exclusively in the unique micro-climate of Cau Dat, where the conditions mirror the great volcanic regions of Central America.

• Altitude: 1,650 meters (5,400 ft) above sea level.

• Soil: Ancient red basalt soil, rich in minerals.

• Climate: The significant temperature drop at night preserves the acidity and concentrates the sugars inside the bean.

3. Sensory Profile (The Cup)

Why do Specialty Roasters love our Yellow Bourbon? It is all about the Sweetness and Balance.

• Aroma: Delicate notes of Jasmine and wildflowers.

• Acidity: Bright, citric acidity (lemon/orange zest) that is vibrant but refined.

• Body: Silky, tea-like body.

• Flavor: Distinct hints of ripe yellow fruits (apricot, peach) and a lingering honey-sweet aftertaste.
