Coffee Beans
Robusta comes from Central and West Africa and is often used for instant coffee and espresso. The finer Robusta varieties are often used in coffee blends, combined with Arabica. In a coffee blend with Arabica gives Robustan a deeper taste and a good cream..
The taste of Robusta is stronger and sharper, with hints of spruce and a peanut-like aftertaste. The beans contain twice as much caffeine as Arabica and have a low acid content.
Robusta coffee plants are grown at a lower level, between 0-800 meters.
The plants grow 4.5-6.5 meters high and require a temperature of 18-36C and more rain than the Arabica plants.
