Arabica and Robusta variety.

At Origines Coffee Roaster, we pride ourselves on bringing the highest quality coffee from the most exquisite corners of the world to your cup. As passionate coffee roasters, we believe it is essential that our customers know the difference between two of the most popular and recognized varieties: Robusta coffee and Arabica coffee. These two species are the most cultivated in the coffee industry and have unique characteristics that influence the flavor, aroma and overall experience of each cup we serve.

Robusta Coffee: Strength and Versatility

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is known for its resistance and versatility in cultivation. This variety thrives in a wide range of climatic conditions and altitudes, making it an ideal choice for areas where Arabica coffee could not survive. Robusta coffee plants are more resistant to pests, allowing for easier and less expensive cultivation.

A distinctive feature of Robusta coffee is its caffeine content, which is usually significantly higher than in Arabica coffee. This gives Robusta blends a more pronounced intensity and bitterness, which can be appreciated by those who enjoy a robust flavor and full-bodied coffee. Plus, its thick, long-lasting cream makes it a popular choice for milky drinks, such as cappuccinos and lattes.

Arabica Coffee: Elegance and Complexity

On the other hand, Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is known for its sophistication and complexity of flavors. These plants are more delicate and require a specific environment to thrive. They prefer higher altitudes, cooler climates and good quality soils, which makes their cultivation more demanding and their costs higher.

Arabica coffee is characterized by having less caffeine than its Robusta counterpart, resulting in a smoother, more pleasant acidity and a wide variety of flavor nuances. Their profiles can range from fruity, floral, and sweet flavors to more complex notes, such as chocolate, nutty, and caramel. The subtlety and finesse of Arabica coffee make it a popular choice among coffee connoisseurs who appreciate a more refined and diverse experience.
