Arabica: Accounting for 70% of global coffee production, basically the most delicious single products you drink outside are Arabica.
Robusta: has a strong taste and strong taste. It is generally used for instant coffee or Italian blended coffee.
The three major native species are Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica (Liberica). Arabica production ranks first, with total production accounting for about 70-75% of the world's coffee. There are sub-varieties such as Bourbon and Typica. Robusta accounts for approximately 20-25% of the world's total coffee production. Liberica only accounts for 3% of the total, and is mostly grown in the Asia-Pacific region.
Arabica has a low caffeine content, about 0.9% to 1.2%; the fat content is 60% more than Robusta coffee; and the sugar content is twice as much; therefore, the taste of Arabica is sweeter and softer, with a bit of fruity sourness. The bitter taste we taste when drinking coffee mainly comes from the chlorogenic acid in coffee. Compared with Arabica, Robusta has higher contents of caffeine, amino acids and chlorogenic acid. Therefore, Robusta naturally does not have the unique aromatic smell of Arabica beans. Instead, it has a mellower and deeper taste, as well as flavors such as walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, wheat, and cereals, as well as rich oils.
In addition, compared with the relatively single Robusta, Arabica has more derivative varieties. They also show different characteristics according to different production areas, climates, and processing methods. Each variety has its own unique flavor, with pleasant acidity, bitterness, and aroma. If you want to taste the iconic flavor of Arabica, choose Front Street Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1 Typica (nuts, cream, chocolate, balance of sour, sweet and bitter), Front Street Panamanian Geisha (jasmine, citrus, oolong tea, honeydew melon), Front Street Sun-dried Oiran (creamy strawberry, floral, berry, guava, mango).
Since we know that robusta has a strong flavor and high caffeine content, it is naturally not suitable to brew it directly, otherwise it will have obvious characteristics of barley tea, peanut flavor, and brown rice tea, with a heavy bitter taste and no sour taste. Combining the advantages and value of Robusta, we can add it to the espresso recipe. One can provide body and the second is to enrich the coffee's crema.
