The difference between Arabica and Robusta of coffee beans

Coffee beans come from two main types of coffee trees: Robusta and Arabica. Drinks with high caffeine will come from Robusta, Coffea canephora robusta variety and Elaraby plus Coffea arabica are common beans used by ordinary coffee bean manufacturers, and the taste of the two coffee beans will be different with different proportions.

And what are the characteristics of these two kinds of coffee beans?

Robusta grows in an area with an altitude of 0800 meters, a temperature of 1836 ℃ and an annual precipitation of 2200-3000 mm. From flowering to fruit ripening for about 7-9 months, its bean line is round, with weak wet aroma (aroma) and woody (woody). The coffee produced has a strong bitter taste and low sour taste. Its caffeine content is 1.8 ~ 3.5%. Robota beans have a single taste and strong bitterness, so they are not tasty enough. They are generally used in instant coffee, canned coffee, liquid coffee and other industrial coffee, and a small part of them are used to prepare Italian concentrated mixed beans. It can improve the mellowness of Italian espresso.

Elaraby grows in an area with an altitude of 600-2200m, a temperature of 15 °- 24 °C and an annual rainfall of 1200-2200mm. From flowering to fruit ripening for about 7-9 months, its bean shape is long and has a strong and round wet aroma. The coffee made from Arabica coffee has strong complex flavors such as flowers, fruit, chocolate and caramel. The bitter taste and sour taste of the coffee are well balanced. Its caffeine content is less than 1.5%. Arabica beans are rich in aroma and taste, and taste softer and palatable. Therefore, it occupies a major position in the market. The caffeine content is about 1.5%.

Thus it can be seen that the beans chosen for good coffee should be Arabica, but only Arabica is too general. Arabica coffee can also be good or bad due to differences in geographical location, growing environment, and planting methods.
