The best Bourbon coffees in our catalog

Bourbon is a foundational variety in specialty coffee. It is known for its balanced sweetness and complex acidity. We currently have 20 lots in stock that highlight this variety. Most of these selections are processed using the washed method, which emphasizes clarity and clean cup profiles. While you will find a few natural processed options, the majority of our highest-scoring Bourbon lots come from regions like Kayanza, Huye, and Oaxaca. George Howell Coffee is the most frequent roaster in this collection, providing a consistent look at how different elevations and processing techniques affect the Bourbon bean. Whether you are looking for a classic cup or a specific regional expression, these 20 lots represent the most reliable Bourbon options currently available in our catalog.

What to taste for:Look for a balanced sweetness, a creamy mouthfeel, and a clean, lingering acidity that defines the classic Bourbon profile.
