There are 2 types of
coffee - the arabica and robusta (canephora)
. The difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee is that
the plant and beans are different and consequently, the use varies as
well.
Robusta or Coffea
canephora as the name suggests, is a much tougher and it shows a greater
resistance to climate and weather conditions, diseases and heat and
their taste can range from neutral to harsh and they are often described
as tasting grain-like or oatmeally. Their unroasted smell is often
described as raw-peanutty. There are high quality robustas on the market
but they are rare and reserved exclusively for the best robusta
containing espressos.
Robusta coffee beans are more robust than the Arabica plants, but
produce an inferior tasting beverage with a higher caffeine content.
Both the Robusta and Arabica coffee plant can grow to heights of 10
meters if not pruned but the countries where coffee is produced will
maintain the plant at a reasonable height which is suitable for
harvesting.

Coffea
canephora (Robusta Coffee Coffea robusta) is a species of coffee which
has its origins in western Africa. It is grown
mostly in Africa and Brazil, where it is often called Conillon. It is
also grown in Southeast Asia where French colonists introduced it in the
late 19th century. In recent years Vietnam, which only produces robusta,
has surpassed Brazil, India, and Indonesia to become the world's single
largest exporter. Approximately one third of the coffee produced in the
world is robusta.
Canephora is easier to care for than the other major species of coffee,
Coffea arabica, and, because of this, is cheaper to produce. Since
arabica beans are considered superior, robusta is usually limited to
lower grade coffee blends as a filler. It is however often included in
instant coffee, and in espresso blends to promote the formation of
"crema". Robusta has about twice as much caffeine as arabica.
Contains about
half the caffeine of Coffea robusta. A Coffea arabica bean containing
little caffeine . The Arabica bean plant is grown at higher altitudes. Its cultivation
needs great care, and it is thought upon the same way as the finest
grapes grown at the worlds leading vineyards.
Arabicas have a wider range of tastes, between varieties, such as
sweet-soft to sharp-tangy. Their smell unroasted is very similar to
blueberries and their smell roasted is perfumey with fruity notes and
sugary tones. The most famous
