Front Street-introduction to Robusta Coffee

Coffee is an evergreen shrub of the genus Coffea of the family Rubiaceae. Rubiaceae plants have been used in medicine since ancient times because they contain a large number of therapeutic ingredients. This kind of coffee trees can be divided into three major coffee varieties: Arabica species, Robsta species and Liberika species. Among them, the Liberika species has hardly been planted because of its low commercial nature, so we have little chance to come into contact with the Arabica species and Robusta species that we often come into contact with.

The Robusta species was first found in the Congo. Compared with Arabica species, they are resistant to high temperature and heat, and can be planted at low elevations, where plant respiration is more active than photosynthesis. In this plain plant, some of the sugars and other components produced by photosynthesis are consumed in the formation of coffee aroma and taste, and most of them in the formation of plant root and branch tissue. Such cultivation conditions make Robusta beans have inherent characteristics.

Compared with Arabica species, Robusta species has a lighter aroma and a more bitter taste than sour taste. Extract this newly baked Robusta grown coffee beans, emitting a delicious flavor of corn tea, mellow, thickness are very strong.

Robusta is usually used to make bottled coffee and drink instant coffee. The main reason is that compared with Arabica, the price is relatively low. In addition, it has a lot to do with Robusta's bitter taste and good texture. Robusta coffee itself has a very good texture and may lose some of its aroma during processing, but it can be made up by adding some coffee that can enhance the aroma, which can also reflect the freshness of the coffee. It is also used for the blending of espresso. Robusta can extract rich coffee and high-quality oils even if it is roasted lightly.

Nowadays, it is difficult for consumers to buy good robusta beans, because most robusta beans are produced in large quantities into instant coffee, and most of the robusta beans in circulation are low-quality, low-priced raw beans. Because of this, robusta beans are often misunderstood as low-grade coffee beans.

Robusta beans are fuller than Arabica beans, the central line is split vertically, is usually flat or raised in the middle from the side, feels harder than Arabica beans and feels like pebbles, such as bean bullies.
