Bourbon Mayaguez 139
Bourbon Mayaguez 139 is a vigorous and highly productive tall coffee variety known for its very good cup quality. It originated from a Bourbon-related population that traveled from Central America through the USDA germplasm collection in Puerto Rico before being introduced to the Democratic Republic of Congo and eventually Rwanda in the 1950s. The variety was selected by the Rwanda Agricultural Board to improve local coffee production. It remains a significant variety for farmers in East Africa due to its reliable performance and quality potential.
World Coffee Research documents Bourbon Mayaguez 71 and 139 as selections made from the Bourbon Mayaguez population after its introduction to East Africa. The two are very similar agronomically.
Treat flavor as lot-specific. Counter Culture's Buliza blend is described with cranberry, fruit leather and a crisp body.
