When we drink coffee, in most cases, we seldom care about the need for caffeine to refresh us, or we don't even know the difference between coffee and beans, let alone that there is a huge difference in flavor and taste.

Only in advertisements can you hear the slogan "Arabica Coffee". There are a lot of people who don't understand what the word means.

Our subconscious mind has closely tied caffeine in coffee to the refreshing effect, quickly replenishing the pick-me-up energy needed every morning.

However, for more picky coffee lovers, the image of high-quality coffee must not only serve coffee beans and caffeine, but also the representative of the high-quality image "100% Arabica coffee" also has a grade distinction, can not be generalized.

There are three primary species of coffee: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberika. Because of their flavor and cultivation, there are only the first two kinds of coffee in circulation in the market, that is, Arabica and Robusta, accounting for almost 73% of the market.

These three native species are spread to different producing areas around the world, resulting in different flavor changes, just like apples, the taste of apples in each province is different, the varieties are different, and there are great differences between domestic and foreign ones.

Comparison of caffeine content

Arabica coffee contains roughly half as much caffeine as robusta, and has a great advantage in flavor and taste.

Before people understand their reaction to caffeine, they should take a more conservative attitude, and the safe dose varies with age, not because the caffeine content of Arabica is lower than that of Robusta.

Comparison of two flavors

Arabica coffee is generally regarded as "high quality" coffee beans because it is rich in flavor and does not have the strong bitterness of robusta beans. Many manufacturers will specially mark their roasted coffee beans as 100% Arabica beans to show their quality.

Because Arabica coffee produced in different regions, different elevations and different climates usually has its own characteristics and can show a completely different regional flavor. After proper baking, the aroma of fruit and the sweetness of caramel, in most cases, have a better aroma and flavor than robusta beans.

Robusta's flavor is usually dull and pungent, and most of it is planted in low altitude areas. There is little difference in flavor between different regions and different climates, and there is a lack of regional personality. The taste of low-value beans in Robusta after deep baking is usually the smell of rubber tires, which is difficult to show fine flavor.

The degree of fastidiousness of the two to the planting environment determines the difference of flavor, which also dominates the market use of the two kinds.

The function is different, not completely good or bad.

Of course, this description is not to belittle Robusta beans, but for different uses. Most of the Italian coffee beans cannot be separated from Robusta's strong oil support, which accounts for 25% of the global coffee production, which is still not to be underestimated, and is resistant to diseases and insect pests and is beneficial to planting.

The prestigious "Blue Mountain" and "Rose Summer" are all outstanding representatives. Fruit acid, the bitterness of dark chocolate, jasmine, red wine, black plum and honey sweetness are all used to describe Arabica flavor. it shows how much we like Arabica's rich and changeable aroma and taste.

They all have a place in the industry.

Whether it's individual coffee or blended coffee, and Robusta doesn't represent a bad taste, the higher varieties of robusta beans taste much better than the low-end Arabica, but you need to pay extra attention to planting and baking.

Robusta is also good.

Robusta has a particularly high level of antioxidants, which helps relieve oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals and may damage the body's immune system. This is very good for your health as a whole.

Because robusta beans can reduce this stress damage, it is also considered possible to fight cancer, only possible, because physical differences and excessive consumption can also cause physical discomfort.

As a result, "Arabica" and "Robusta" are just the variety names of coffee, and their branches of natural and artificial variation in the world are very large and interesting, giving us more fun and enjoyment of coffee taste buds.
