FAQ
What is the difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee beans?
Arabica beans are known for their smooth, mild flavor, while Robusta beans have a stronger more robust taste. Arabica beans are generally more expensive due to the specific growing conditions required and the susceptibility of Arabica plants to pests and diseases. On the other hand, Robusta is more cost-effective to produce as Robusta plants are hardier and easier to cultivate.
Each type of coffee bean has its own unique characteristics, and the preference for Arabica or Robusta often comes down to personal taste. Many specialty and gourmet coffees are made from Arabica beans, while Robusta is commonly used in instant coffee and some espresso blends. We’d like to note that all of our coffees are Arabica beans! 😉
What does the term "single origin" mean in coffee?
