ARABICA COFFEE
Arabica coffee was cataloged around 1750 and originated in Ethiopia. The species corresponds to approximately ¾ of the beans produced worldwide and is considered the noblest of the coffee family due to its complexity of flavor and aroma.
Arabica coffee ” Gourmet coffee ” is grown anywhere upwards of 600+m on the mountain tops and tropical environments.
A 100% Arabica coffee means that it has been produced only with varieties of Arabica beans.
These coffees are classified as gourmet or special by ABIC (Brazilian Association of the Coffee Industry), which attests to the level of purity and coffee quality.
Arabica coffee has a mild, slightly acidic, and naturally sweet flavor. This is because its grains have a much higher concentration of sugars than robusta. In addition, Arabica coffee also has a smoother, fruitier aroma and the concentration of caffeine in its beans is much lower than that of other coffee species.
