Arabica vs Robusta coffee beans
In our Indigogo project we talk a lot about introducing a new variety of Arabica tree to our farms. The Robusta bean grown here is a very simple and strong variety that is mostly used in making instant coffee.
The Arabica bean is a higher quality bean, more sophisticated, more complex, and the flavors are unbeatable. Most famous high quality coffees are an Arabica variety.
We do have some Arabica trees on our coffee farms and I picked a few beans so you could see the difference. I hand picked these beans, dried them in the sun, hand processed and extracted the green beans.
I fire roasted the beans and ground them and brewed some coffee. Amazing! One of the best cups of coffee I ever experienced! These beans, grown in these conditions, will become a favorite of the true coffee lovers of the world.
