Bourbon Regions

Exploring the best of our country can offer

Within the Brazilian main producing areas, the Bourbon Regions are strategically defined to guarantee profile, geographical characteristics and story. Almost two decades of working exclusively with the specialty coffee market in Brazil, Bourbon has been closely following the development of each of the country’s main producing areas. Thus, we have decided to strategically establish our expertise of sourcing and originating incredible coffees in regions that have shown potential every crop.

Bourbon Regions

A Bourbon Region is a territory inside a main Brazilian producing area, where we consider the coffees to present similar cup profiles, geographical characteristics and stories. There is intense work done all over Brazil which involves sourcing, logistics, storage and quality control to originate coffees from Poços de Caldas, Vale da Grama, Espírito Santo, Campos Altos, Alta Mogiana, Ibiraci, Araponga and Caparaó.
