Arabica

Arabica is the most popular and widely grown coffee species in the world, accounting for nearly all the beans found in the specialty coffee market. These plants are delicate and demanding to cultivate, thriving best at high altitudes with mild temperatures and consistent rainfall. In return for the meticulous care provided by farmers, the fruit rewards us with a complex cup, showcasing a vast spectrum of natural tasting notes (meaning flavor characteristics ranging from bright fruits and florals to nuts and chocolate). Compared to Robusta, the world's other major coffee species, Arabica contains about half the caffeine, which results in a much smoother taste with a more pleasant, subtle acidity. Interestingly, within this single species, there are thousands of distinct botanical varieties, each capable of bringing a completely unique personality to your daily brew.
