Robusta, generally known as Robusta, is considered very unpleasant to drink and difficult to swallow, but it still contributes nearly 30% of global production. Let Front Street introduce and share Luo Dou’s story with you!
For a long time, people's favorite coffee originated from the place where Ethiopia and Sudan meet. It is called Arabica coffee beans. People brought these seeds to the world for planting, so there are many subspecies of Arabica, among which Typica and Bourbon families are the main ones.
Although these varieties have excellent flavor, they are delicate, have low yields, have poor disease resistance, and have extremely high environmental requirements. After experiencing several leaf rust attacks, people are constantly looking for some disease-resistant varieties.
So, in 1898, Belgian botanists discovered a very sturdy coffee variety in the Congo that was not only highly disease-resistant, but also grew well at low altitudes. Later, it was discovered that the caffeine content of this coffee fruit was twice that of Arabica, and it was very good at avoiding pests. Later, everyone called this variety Robusta, also called Congolese species.
At present, the main producing countries of Robusta are Vietnam, Indonesia, and Brazil, with Vietnam being the largest producer of Robusta.
The flavor of Robusta is not as good as that of Arabica. The flavor of Robusta is usually barley tea, almond, grain, wood, caramel, and sometimes rubber. Although the taste of ordinary Robusta is not satisfactory, high caffeine is indeed a human need, and the price of Robusta is really cheap, so it is generally used as a raw material for instant coffee. In addition, Robusta itself is rich in oil and can provide a mellow taste, so high-quality Robusta beans can also be used in the blending formula of Italian coffee beans.
Front Street Commercial Blend coffee beans are a combination of Latin American Arabica coffee beans and a small amount of Vietnamese Roast beans. If you want to make the same taste as a coffee shop, or want to be a host, then Front Street Commercial Blend is your first choice. Compared with other Italian coffees, Front Street Commercial Blend adopts the typical combinations of Brazil and Colombia, and then adds a small amount of Robusta to enhance the original flavor level. The coffee exhibits complex nutty aromas such as almonds, almonds, and walnuts. The oil has good fluidity, the taste is low-acid and mellow, and the price advantage makes it undoubtedly the best choice for opening a store.
For home enthusiasts making Italian coffee, we recommend the classic blend of Front Street. This is a tribute to the once-popular "Mamba Coffee". It combines Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian Arabica. It has the wild aroma of Mandheling and the smooth taste of Brazilian beans. The taste plays a complementary and harmonious role. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
