History of Back Bay Estate Bourbon Arabicas

BOURBON 1: Onan Ganjang
Variety Lineage: Natural cross of S795 with Bourbon
Original heredity of the varietal is not known, however based on the young sprout/leaves green color, it is of a Bourbon origin/dominant gene; or mutation of S795 based on more dominant Bourbon gene Kent varietal. Our crop was purchased as 6 month old plants from Lintongnihuta and planted on Back Bay Estate in 2015. Additional trees propagated from cherry were planted in 2018, 2019. Situated on a flat plot within the Northern lower back hectare of Back Bay and adjacent to other red or yellow bourbon varieties.

Regenerative Agriculture Practices

BIODYNAMIC: All Farm waste and Processing waste are turned into compost for crops. All Crops are shade grown with nitrogen fixing trees. All plots are planted with nitrogen fixing ground covers and flowering plants to support insect wildlife and natural pollination. All plots are planted with multiple fruit and berry trees around the perimeters to provide food and shelter for hundreds of birds and attract predatory birds. Rain water is cycled through for multiple farm and processing operations. Reforestation and agroforestry of Siamang Forest to supply additional food and income for people and feed multiple wildlife species within the farm and forest.

ORGANIC: No herbicides; No Pesticides; No chemical Inputs; No Inoculants or additives during processing.

SUSTAINABLE: Renewable resources are used for buildings. Renewable energy is used for home and office. Minimal energy footprint for generators which are only on for processing operations. Locally sourced raw materials reduce transportation costs. Shipping internationally as part of a consolidated container whenever possible to reduce energy use.
