Bourbon Mayaguez 71
Bourbon Mayaguez 71 is a tall Arabica variety derived from the Bourbon-Typica genetic group. It originated from selections made after the Bourbon Mayaguez population was introduced to East Africa in the 1950s. The variety is known for its moderate yield potential and good cup quality, though it remains susceptible to major coffee diseases like leaf rust and coffee berry disease. It is specifically adapted for cultivation at medium altitudes.
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.
