Arabica Coffee<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wondering what Arabica coffee is and how it affects the coffee you drink?<\/p>\n

Arabica coffee is a type of coffee made from the beans of the Coffea arabica plant.<\/p>\n

Arabica originated in the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia and is the most popular type of coffee in the world \u2013 accounting for 60% or more of the world’s coffee production.<\/p>\n

After arabica in popularity, it is robusta coffee made from the beans of the Coffea canephora plant.<\/p>\n

Robusta Coffee<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Robusta was born in Central and Western Sub-Saharan Africa.\u00a0It is the second most popular coffee in the world, accounting for 40% of coffee production.<\/p>\n

Robusta coffee is grown largely in Africa and Indonesia.\u00a0The largest producer is Vietnam.<\/p>\n

It is often used in instant coffee and espresso blends.\u00a0When it comes to making coffee at home, espresso is your method of choice to bring out the best from robusta beans.<\/p>\n

The fruit of the Robusta coffee plant turns dark red as it matures and takes about 6 to 8 months to do so.\u00a0The fruit does not ripen at the same time like blueberries \u2013 there can be ripe and unripe fruit on the same branch.<\/p>\n

There are usually two coffee beans (seeds) inside each fruit.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Taste<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Coffee made with\u00a0Arabica\u00a0<\/strong>beans is slightly acidic due to high oil but has an aromatic flavor.\u00a0It is usually sweeter and softer.\u00a0Visually speaking, light foaming forms on top of Arabica coffee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Coffee made from\u00a0Robusta\u00a0<\/strong>beans is stronger and more bitter.\u00a0It is less aromatic, but because the foam is thicker and denser, you can make a creamier espresso.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Caffeine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One reason Robusta doesn’t taste as good is because it contains more caffeine compared to Arabica.\u00a0It may sound like a positive thing, but caffeine has a bitter taste, which makes it an unpleasant beverage.\u00a0In fact, Robusta beans contain 2.7% caffeine.\u00a0This is almost twice the 1.5% of Arabica.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Lipid and Sugar Content<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Arabica contains almost 60% more lipids and almost twice the sugar concentration than Robusta.\u00a0This explains why we prefer Arabica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

          In\u00a0<\/strong>terms of\u00a0price\u00a0<\/strong>, Robusta’s green beans are about 1\/3 the price of Arabica green beans in the commodity market\u00a0.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Growing Coffee Beans<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Robusta is easier to farm, has a higher yield and is less susceptible to insects.\u00a0The\u00a0extra caffeine\u00a0is a chemical\u00a0defense\u00a0for the coffee beans, as the\u00a0amount in Robusta is toxic to insects\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

              About 75% of the\u00a0world’s coffee production is\u00a0Arabica and about 25% is Robusta.\u00a0Brazil is the most important producer of Arabica and Vietnam is the largest producer of Robusta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Which Coffee Is Where?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                You don’t often find Robusta in a coffee blend these days.\u00a0Are you drinking instant coffee?\u00a0It’s probably all Robusta… But you probably don’t really care about the taste.\u00a0In the espresso mix?\u00a0This part is a little confusing.\u00a0Robusta is still widely used as part of espresso blends.\u00a0Especially in Italian style mixes.\u00a0Robusta also stands out by making the cream fuller.<\/p>\n

                One thing to note is that although Arabica is associated with higher quality and Robusta being of lower quality, this is not always the case.\u00a0Premium Robusta coffee\u00a0<\/span>often tastes as good as, or better than, lower quality Arabica.\u00a0However, the advanced technology Robusta is not widely used.\u00a0On the contrary, Robusta is often used as a cream thickener or cost reducer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                  Robusta beans are much more circular, while Arabica is more oval.<\/p>\n

                    Arabica usually\u00a0grows between\u00a02.5 and 4.5 meters,\u00a0<\/span>compared to the\u00a04.5 – 6 meters\u00a0<\/span>height of the\u00a0Robusta\u00a0.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
