LUSH & JUICY YELLOW BOURBON
With abundant sweetness, intense aromatics and sparkling tropical fruit flavors, Yellow Bourbon is as lush and elegant as it is rare to find in Hawaii. And despite its name, Yellow Bourbon (pronounced 'boar-bone') has nothing to do with the adult beverage.
This crop is the first harvest from young Yellow Bourbon coffee trees, produced by the same farmer of our amazing 94 pt Ka'u Maragogipe.
The Bourbon coffee variety tends to have pronounced fruit flavors and abundant sweetness. As such, it does very well in competitions. Case in point, it was our Puna Pink Bourbon which won Grand Champion in the state of Hawaii.
Coffee Review Blind Assessment: Juicy-sweet, high-toned, multi-layered. Strawberry guava, star jasmine, hazelnut, amber, cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet-tart structure with a vibrant acidity; lively, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Fruit- and floral-toned finish.
The Bottom Line : An exceptional Yellow Bourbon grown in the Ka’u region of the Big Island of Hawai’i: expressive, nuanced, complex, juicy.

Because Espresso Bites are made without stabilizers or preservatives, they may bloom or melt when shipping temperatures exceed 80 F. If this is a concern in your location please select FedEx shipping.
If you notice a white color to your bar, it's perfectly safe to eat. This happens when the cocoa butter softens and migrates to the surface. It happens more often when shipping in warm weather. Learn more about blooming.

I bought as much as I could! Super happy with the tasting notes shining through, as I LOVE pineapple and white grape. The balance with the sandalwood and rose to finish was superb, making for a vibrant, excellent cup!
United StatesReally enjoyed the Ka’u Yellow Bourbon coffee. Thanks Big Island for picking another winner.

Can’t say enough! This is the best offering from the best roaster. Ever. It has all the quality’s my pallet loves. Cup it black, to really appreciate the nuanced complexity. I’ve been a loyal customer for quite sometime. I firmly believe that no one in the Hawaii region can hold a candle Big Island Coffee Roasters. I relish any of their med/light roasts from Puna or Ka’u, but this Yellow Bourbon is incredible
United StatesI was extremely pleased with the overall taste of the Yellow Bourbon beans.
United StatesThis was my first time ordering the Yellow Bourbon and I’m glad I did! The flavor notes are delicious and makes me feel like I’m back on Maui! It’s helping me get through quarantine when I can get back there for real!
United StatesI believe this is the best, at least amongst the best coffee that I've had. It has a sweet aspect to it and is extremely smooth. Usually I need to add milk and maybe a bit of salt to tone down the bitterness of some coffees. This one doesn't require this manipulation.
