Variety introduction of Robusta Coffee Price planting Environment Flavor description treatment method

Arabica coffee accounts for 75 percent of the world's coffee production, and quality varies widely, from good to bad. In recent years, a few countries (such as India) have made efforts to improve the quality of Robusta coffee. They grow Robusta coffee at high altitude, apply the most careful care and fine washing treatment, and the result is very excellent quality Robusta coffee beans! Top Robusta beans are not cheap either, get rid of the old impression that Robusta is all cheap beans! Therefore, the quality of coffee beans can no longer be judged by the crude and outdated old standard of "Arabica beans" to judge the quality of "Arabica" coffee requires complicated manual picking, selection and careful processing, so the most expensive and best coffee beans in the world are "Arabica" coffee. Robusta coffee is usually used to make instant coffee and canned coffee because of its low cost. A few of the better quality "Robusta" coffees are also used in blends (mixed with Arabica coffee) to make espresso beans.

other differences

Robusta seeds account for 25 -35% of coffee bean production, and their main producing country is Indonesia (One of its coffee beans is a water-washed coffee bean, a hybrid of Robusta and Arabica, the only coffee bean that can be drunk as a single product in the Chinese market), Vietnam, Africa,(West African countries centered on Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Angola), Vietnam has devoted more attention to coffee production in recent years and included it in national policies (Vietnam also produces a small amount of Arabica coffee beans)

Robusta's coffee tree is a kind of tree between shrubs and tall trees, long leaves, bright green color, trees up to 10 meters tall, but the roots are very shallow, fruit is slightly rounder than Arabica coffee fruit, beans are flat round, the center pit is straight.

Robusta has a distinctive aroma (known as "rob", some people say it's moldy) and bitterness, and if mixed with other coffees at 2-3%, the entire cup becomes rob (therefore, Robusta beans are not drinkable as single-serve beans).

Its flavor is as bright as some strong, but if you want to taste it directly, I am afraid you have to be mentally prepared.

Robusta coffee is generally used in industrial coffee production such as instant coffee (which produces about twice the amount of coffee extracted from Arabica), canned coffee, and liquid coffee.

The caffeine content is much higher than that of Arabica, which is about 3.2%

Arabica coffee beans grow at higher elevations in the tropics, where it is cooler. The lower elevations, where Arabica beans do not grow, are the home of Robusta.

Robusta is planted in lowlands at an altitude of 200-600 meters. It likes warm climate. The temperature requirement is 24 - 29℃. The rainfall requirement is not high. However, this variety depends on insects or wind to transmit pollen. Therefore, coffee takes 9-11 months from pollination to fruit, which is longer than Arabica.
