Robusta (Coffea canephora)

Robusta (Coffea canephora) is a type of coffee plant known for its strong, bold flavor and higher caffeine content compared to Arabica. It is hardier and more resistant to pests and diseases, making it easier to grow in warmer, lower-altitude regions. Robusta beans are typically used in espresso blends for added body and bitterness and are often less expensive. The plant produces smaller beans with a more bitter taste, and its cultivation is mainly focused in Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America. Overall, Robusta contributes to the variety and strength of the global coffee market.
