Rast coffee Laurina Pointu de Bourbon, Reunion
Laurina Pointu de Bourbon - the coffee of kings! With this coffee, you will discover a true rarity that even delighted King Louis XV. This unique Bourbon Pointu variety is grown in tiny quantities on the island of La Réunion. Only 830 kg per year can call themselves Grand Cru - a coffee that is considered one of the best Arabicas in the world.
Laurina impresses with its exceptionally fine interplay of flavours. In the cup, floral and citrus-like aromas unfold, accompanied by nuances of exotic lychee, fine spices and fine cocoa. The body is balanced and elegant, the acidity finely integrated. The speciality: At just 0.6 %, its caffeine content is well below average - perfect if you want to enjoy an intense experience without excessive stimulation.
This coffee is versatile and unfolds its full potential particularly as a café crème or filter coffee. For espresso, it offers a rather fine, subtly nuanced flavour experience. Whether in a portafilter machine, a fully automatic machine or as a pour-over - Laurina always has a clear, round and long-lasting finish.
Laurina comes from the "Domaine des Caféiers" estate in Saint-Paul on La Réunion. Martine and Mongi Sliti have made it their mission to revitalise the almost forgotten Bourbon Pointu. They run the only certified organic coffee farm in the European Union, specialising exclusively in this variety. They are passionate and dedicated to preserving this cultural heritage.
The Bourbon Pointu, also known as Coffea arabica cv. laurina, is a rare mutation of the Arabica plant. Its small, tapered beans and dwarf growth make it unique. Originally famous in the 18th century, the variety was almost forgotten due to natural disasters and the cultivation of sugar cane. It has been enjoying a renaissance on La Réunion since 2008. Today, it is not only regarded as the best Arabica in the world, but also as a synonym for elegance, exclusivity and a culture of enjoyment.

Fresh Service: This coffee is freshly roasted for you every Monday and shipped two days later.
Some companies take a short break during the public holidays. It is therefore possible that your order will not be dispatched until after the holidays. Thank you for your understanding
We recommend that espresso roasts be used 12 days after the roast date or filter coffees 5 days after the roast date found on the package. Freshly roasted coffee needs this time until it is ready for a constant extraction.
We ask that the order is always sent before 23:59 on Sunday, so that we can ensure a shipment on the following Wednesday.
