Collection: Arabica coffee beans

What are Arabica coffee beans?

Arabica coffee beans come from theCoffea Arabicaplant, a shrub that grows at higher altitudes and requires a bit more attention than its robust brother (you guessed it: Robusta). What do you get in return? A bean full of character. Arabica coffee is known for its smooth taste, low bitterness and aromas that can range from sweet and fruity to nutty or spicy. Most specialty coffee worldwide is made from Arabica beans, and that is no coincidence: the quality is simply higher, and the flavor complexity is unmatched.

What is the difference between Arabica and Robusta?

The biggest difference is in the taste. Arabica is subtle, elegant and often fruity or floral in character. Robusta is more powerful, bitter and has more caffeine. Arabica contains an average of 1.2% caffeine, while Robusta can contain up to 2.7%. The structure of the bean also differs: Arabica has an oval shape with a curved grain, Robusta is smaller and rounder. If you choose Arabica, you choose taste. For balance. For finesse.
