Colombia has long grown only first-class Arabica coffee beans, but now that trend has changed! Demand for robusta coffee beans has soared in emerging markets, and Colombia, which has always despised the beans, is now joining the ranks of growing robusta coffee.

Coffee farmers have always preferred Arabica coffee beans (arabica), which are mild in flavor and relatively expensive, while robusta coffee beans (robusta), which are mostly used to make instant coffee or blend coffee, are less favored.

Andrew Hetzel, a consultant in the boutique coffee industry, says Robusta tastes so strong that some even describe it as "rubber tires", "oil barrels" or "children's tears".

As a result, Arabica beans now account for 65% of global coffee production. However, this trend is now changing! Global demand for robusta beans is rising, especially in Asia, prompting Latin American countries to start mass production of relatively cheap robusta beans.

At present, both Guatemala and Nicaragua are expanding the production areas of robusta beans. Costa Rica also lifted the ban on growing robusta beans in February (small step: once Costa Rica declared it illegal to grow robusta beans). Even Colombia, which used to despise Robusta coffee beans, has begun to break with tradition and start experimental planting.

Colombia used to be reluctant to produce robusta beans, mainly for fear of tarnishing Colombia's reputation for only high-quality coffee beans.

But now some coffee gluttons have come forward to put in a good word for Robusta. They stress that robusta beans don't taste bad at all if they are produced in the right area.
