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

Arabica coffee accounts for 75% of the world's coffee production, and its quality varies widely, from good to bad. In recent years, a few countries (such as India) have devoted themselves to improving the quality of robusta coffee. They have planted robusta in high altitude areas, given the most careful care, and carefully washed the coffee. As a result, they get very good quality robusta coffee beans! Top Robusta beans are not cheap either, getting rid of the old impression that Robusta are cheap beans! Therefore, the quality of coffee beans can no longer be judged by the crude and outdated ancient judgment standard of "Arabica beans". High-quality "Arabica" coffee requires a cumbersome process of hand picking, selection and fine processing, so it is the most expensive and the best coffee beans in the world are grown in Arabica. "Robusta" coffee is usually used to produce instant coffee and canned coffee because of its low cost. A small number of better quality "Robusta" coffee are also used in mixed coffee (with Arabica coffee) espresso beans.

Other differences

The output of Robusta species accounts for 25% of coffee bean production, which accounts for 25% of coffee bean production. Its main producing country is Indonesia (one of its coffee beans is a kind of coffee bean processed by washing method, which is a hybrid between Robusta and Arabica. It is the only coffee bean on the Chinese market that can be used as a single drink), Vietnam, Africa, (West African countries with Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Angola as the center), and Vietnam has been more committed to coffee production in recent years. And include it in national policy (Vietnam also produces a small number of Arabica coffee beans)

The coffee tree planted by Robusta is a kind of tree between shrubs and tall trees. Its leaves are long and bright green. The tree can be up to 10 meters high, but its roots are very shallow. The fruit is slightly rounder and smaller than Arabica coffee. The bean body is flat and round. The middle pit is straight.

Robusta has a unique aroma (known as "Rob flavor", some people mainly because of musty smell) and bitterness. If 2% of the coffee is mixed with other coffee, the whole cup of coffee will become Rob flavor (therefore, Robusta coffee beans can not be drunk as individual coffee beans).

Its flavor is so bright and strong, but if you want to taste it directly, you have to be prepared.

In general, robusta coffee is used in instant coffee (which extracts about twice as much liquid as Arabica), canned coffee, liquid coffee and other industrial coffees.

Its caffeine content is much higher than that of Arabica species, about 3.2%.

Arabica coffee beans grow at colder high elevations in the tropics, and those high temperatures and low elevations that are not suitable for Arabica are the land of Robusta.

Robstado grows in lowlands 200-600m above sea level and likes warm climates. the temperature is 2429 ℃, and the requirement for rainfall is not high. However, this variety depends on insects or wind to pollinate, so it takes 11 months for coffee from pollination to fruit, which is longer than Arabica species.
