You may have noticed that we brag about our 100% Arabica coffee . Although it does sound like something magicians say, it isn’t gibberish – it refers to the type of coffee species in which the beans are from.

There are over 100 coffee species , however the two main ones that are widely produced and sold are: Coffea Arabica and Coffea Robusta.


Brewing Happiness

Taste: Often Robusta has its taste described as burnt tires or rubbery, which… sounds disgusting.

One reason that the taste isn't as good for Robusta is that it has more caffeine (a natural way to protect itself from bugs!). Which may sound like a positive thing but caffeine carries a bitter taste which makes it an unpleasant drink. In fact the Robusta bean has almost double the caffeine of Arabica .

Natural sugar content: Arabica contains almost twice the concentration of sugar than Robusta. This factor also probably has a big impact on why we prefer the taste of Arabica.

Plants: Arabica plants grow about half the size of a Robusta, the yields are less and they are generally less hardy and more difficult to grow , all this leads to Arabica being slightly more expensive crop to grow... but its defiantly worth it!

Flavour compromise: Nearly all instant coffee is made with Robusta beans , but you don’t need to choose between convenience and flavour! Why not try our gorgeous ground coffee collection , make your own fresh filter coffee easily and conveniently without flavour compromise! https://www.thevaultshop.co.uk/coffee-tea
