Robusta's Rise: A New Era in Specialty Coffee

In the world of high-end coffee, robusta beans are making a surprising comeback, with a Brazilian coffee shop serving an espresso made entirely from robusta, boasting a creamy texture and rich chocolate notes. This shift is driven by climate change, as Brazils arabica-growing land becomes unsuitable, and a growing appreciation for robustas unique qualities. The Specialty Coffee Association has revised its evaluation courses to include robusta, and Brazil aims to increase its production of specialty robusta. The rising quality of Brazilian robusta has led to increased demand and higher prices, with roasters now more openly incorporating robusta into their blends.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
