Differences between Arabica and Robusta Beans

Arabica and Robusta beans differ in many aspects, not just the looks but taste, chemicals and growing conditions.

Although a large quantity of the coffee produced today comes from many different countries, there’s confusion regarding the type of coffee you’re consuming. For those who are in the business of coffee, knowing this is just a part of every day’s labor. On the contrary, several customers and buyers can’t tell the difference between Arabica and Robusta roasted coffee. To clarify the difference (a huge one) here are some points to help you notice right away.

1.- Coffee beans:

Perhaps this is the easiest one to tell. Arabica coffee beans are more elliptical shaped compared to the round Robusta beans. There are also some differences in the structure of each one, which is the reason both beans roast differently under the same conditions.

2.- Climate and environmental conditions:

Robusta grows between 4.5-6.5 meters and requires warm temperatures between 18°C-36°C whereas Arabica coffee shrub grows in heights between 2.5-4.5 meters, with colder temperatures of 15°C-24°C. Regarding rainfall, Arabica demands an annual rainfall of 1200-2200 mm/yr, which is less than Robusta (2200-3000 mm/yr). Robusta is more affordable in terms of production, producing more coffee per hectare than Arabica.

3.- Chlorogenic acid and Caffeine:

Chlorogenic and caffeine concentrations are believed to drive off insects and animals, and it’s also the reason of the bitter taste in coffee. Robusta happens to contain twice the amount of these two, compared to Arabica. This is what makes Robusta coffee beans to be more resistant in the wild.

To summarize: Robusta beans are economically better for production, but due to its bitter taste, it’s often considered to be of “lesser quality.” But there’s a lot of profit to attain from Robusta, and industries today usually use it as a filler to reduce costs.

We can’t deny the high profile of Arabica beans. They are the most successful product in the coffee business. Good news is there’s a product that is 100% Arabica coffee coming soon: it’s the Only Colombian! That Coffee Roasters is glad to launch it for exclusive customers like yourself; so don’t miss this chance and get in touch with them to get your hands on the finest coffee.

Arabica coffee beans grown in Colombia have the advantage of climate, which translates into its unique taste.

Signature Blends Produced by That Coffee Roasters

These are the main blends That Coffee Roasters produce and commercialize.

In the business of coffee, knowledge acts as a way to stand out in the market. That, of course, assuming you seek not only to provide a service but something much more valuable. This is the reason why That Coffee Roasters stands out above others, as they seek to let their viewers know a little more about the coffee they’re buying. Today, you’ll know some of the coffee blends produced by them, in the hope you’ll find them of your interest.

But before we get into it, it’s important to know each roast first. If you’ve been to a coffee store and you’re offered a sample book, you’ll notice that they all differ in coloration. Seeing each bean, you can notice that under them there’s a label with different names: French, Colombian, Latino, Italian, and others. All these names do not attribute to the source of the beans, but to the amount of time they were exposed to the roasting process.

The scale of roast begins with the green beans. While being exposed to the process, they go from light brown to medium brown, then dark brown to nearly black. Colombian roast is usually related to a light brown roast, while Italian roast is darker in color.

Coffee blends are mixtures of two or more coffees from different categories. The reason for blends resides in the creation of new combinations, obtaining a flavor that wouldn’t be the same as the one of a single-origin coffee. For industries who sell massive amounts of coffee, it is also a way to cut costs and still get quality products.

That Coffee Roasters produce and sell several blends to industries and businesses, and each of these has their own secret of success (which I’m not allowed to tell). The signature coffee blends they sell are the following: Breakfast, Colombian, Espresso Italiano, Latino and Gourmet. All of these with select green beans that undergo a professional roasting procedure very characteristic to their brand, giving off premium results.

The Best Climate for an Ideal Coffee

Colombia's geography and climate is perfect for growing coffee due to the elevations and the mountainous places it has.

Colombia, as a country with a diversity of environments and landscapes, is currently a source of life for harvesters to take advantage. Not all products adapt to this diversity, but there’s one that favors it like no other does: coffee. But how does the coffee plant adapt to the conditions of the Colombian lands? Here you’ll see how and why coffee and Colombia work so well together.

The main feature of Colombia’s climate is that it has a tropical climate, meaning that the weather stays constant throughout the year. The only two characteristic seasons in the country are the dry and rainy, often called “summer” and “winter” by the Colombians. These two seasons are of great benefit for the production of coffee.

Normally, altitudes from 1800-3600 feet with 16-24°C are the standard for an ideal coffee in countries like Mexico, Jamaica, and Zimbabwe. On the other hand, Arabica coffee beans in Colombia have different conditions for cultivation, with altitudes between the 4000 and 6000 ft above sea level and temperatures of 17-23°C.

Precipitations and dry seasons need to be well defined as a way to ensure the harvesting of fresh coffee. Each region in Colombia has its particular conditions regarding temperature, solar radiation, and water supply. This means that certain locations have different seasons and periods for harvest through the year.

Perhaps you haven’t heard of the coffee belt (commonly known as “zona cafetera”), but this is the center where the majority of the coffee growing takes place. This zone is considered to be the Cultural Coffee Landscape, a place where you can find the heart of the coffee production.

As you can see, Colombia really stands out not only in culture, but climate and landscapes that favor the harvesting of fine coffee. Are you interested in the best coffee for your brand? If you’re having a hard time choosing, I can assure you that if you contact That Coffee Roasters, there is nothing to lose. They worry about giving what’s best for customers like you, so go and get a sample of the best coffee in the market!

Coffee must have the best conditions to produce even better results, which is why having the proper climate translates into high quality.

Lands of Colombia: A Fertile Paradise

Behind the history of Colombian coffee, there's a lot of passion that reflects in the production of today.

Imagine yourself surrounded by many different contrasts and breathtaking sceneries. No matter where you turn your eyes, there’s beauty everywhere. This land, where flora and fauna thrive among the mountains, is an ideal place where a tradition started. Knowing the importance of heritage makes a product to be even more valuable, which is why Colombian lands are so rich, both historically and in profitability matters.

If you ever get to see Colombia from above, you’ll notice the lands are filled with life: both oceans – Pacific and Caribbean – can be viewed in the coastline, Andes Mountains bisect Colombia, which is separated by mountain ranges with rivers that sustain the land. The sights are not the only things Colombia has in its favor, as it is also a major exporter of a product with worldwide demand: Coffee.

As mentioned above, the country features high altitudes and mountain landscapes, which happens to be the place where coffee is grown and harvested. About the origins of coffee, there is a theory regarding Jesuit priests, which are believed to have brought the first beans in the 17th century. But it was only a century after when the first shipment of coffee made it overseas to the United States in 1835.

Ever since the exporting business started, Colombian coffee paved its way to success providing the best quality products in the coffee industry worldwide. Harvesters, producers, and exporters can owe it to the lands for giving them employment. Colombia’s economic stability can be associated with the surging of this business.

Whenever you’re drinking Colombian coffee on your house or a Café, remember just how deep the roots go and be thankful for being able to enjoy tradition in one coup. Most coffee industries and brands only focus on selling and nothing more, but this is not the case with That Coffee Roasters. They put passion and dedication in their services and products. Contact them to see it yourself!

Colombian lands have the best terrains for the production of the best coffee.
