This was a natural mutation of Typica, which occurred on the island of Réunion (at the time called Bourbon). The yield is higher than that of Typica, and many in the speciality industry believe that it has a distinctive sweetness, making it prized and desirable. There are various variations in the colour of the fruit: red, yellow and occasionally orange. This variety was grown very widely in the past but in many producing countries it was replaced by higher- yielding varieties. This was at a time when the market had not yet matured sufficiently to reward a high enough price to compensate for the lower yields it produces compared to newer varieties.
