Question 14

2 types of beans

Answer 14

• Arabica‬ – around 80% of the world’s coffee production is arabica. It produces a superior coffee with better flavour and aromatic qualities.
• Robusta‬ – robusta trees are easier to grow, more disease resistant and produce higher yields. Robusta beans contain twice as much Caffeine and have a more bitter flavour. They tend to be used in lower-priced coffees, or as a small proportion of espresso blends as they produce coffee with richer crema.
