Arabica vs. Robusta

While the best coffee, Arabica, is grown between three and five thousand feet above sea level.

Robusta, is grown from sea level to 3,000 feet.

Arabica coffee is grown under the canopy of other trees.
However, most robusta is grown in full sun.

Types of coffee can be broken down by country of origin, but you can also distinguish different beans by light, medium, and dark roasts.

In addition, you can look at aroma, acidity, body, and flavor. If you want to read actual details, you can visit our About Coffee section:
