At Carococo Roaster, we believe that great coffee begins with exceptional coffee beans. These little treasures, sourced from around the globe, hold the key to the rich flavors and aromas that coffee lovers cherish. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of coffee beans, their characteristics, and how our premium offerings can enhance your coffee experience.

Understanding Coffee Beans

Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee cherry and come from various species, the two most popular being Arabica and Robusta. Each type has its unique attributes that influence flavor, aroma, and overall coffee quality.

1. Arabica Beans:

   • Flavor Profile: Arabica beans are known for their smooth, mild flavor with complex notes. They often exhibit hints of fruit and floral undertones.
   • Growing Conditions: Typically grown at higher altitudes, Arabica plants are more delicate and require specific climate conditions. They thrive in cooler temperatures and need careful cultivation.
   • Quality: Generally regarded as superior in taste, Arabica accounts for about 60-70% of the world’s coffee production.

2. Robusta Beans:

   • Flavor Profile: Robusta beans have a stronger, more bitter taste and higher caffeine content. They are often described as earthy or nutty.
   • Growing Conditions: Robusta plants are hardier and can grow at lower altitudes. They are more resistant to pests and disease, making them easier to cultivate in various climates.
   • Use in Blends: Often used in espresso blends for added body and crema, Robusta is appreciated for its robust character.

The Journey from Bean to Brew

1. Sourcing: At Carococo Roaster, we prioritize sourcing high-quality coffee beans from renowned coffee-growing regions, ensuring only the best beans make it to your cup.

2. Processing: Once harvested, coffee cherries undergo processing to extract the beans. This can be done through various methods, including wet and dry processing, which significantly affects flavor profiles.

3. Roasting: The roasting process is crucial in developing the beans’ flavors. Our expert roasting techniques bring out the unique characteristics of each bean, resulting in a rich and aromatic brew.
