Arabica coffee is the world’s most popular type of coffee.

What is Arabica Coffee?

With all the different kinds of coffee beans to choose from (not to mention all those wonderful coffee drinks) you may be wondering what arabica coffee is – and how it affects your daily java.

What is arabica coffee?

Arabica coffee is a type of coffee made from the beans of the Coffea arabicaplant.

Arabica originated in the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia and is the most popular kind of coffee worldwide – making up 60% or more of coffee production in the world.

Second to arabica in popularity is robusta coffee which is made from the beans of the Coffea canephora plant.

Why is it called “Arabica” coffee?

According to this article on ThoughtCo.com, it’s called arabica coffee because in the 7th century the beans went from Ethiopia to lower Arabia.

In Ethiopia, the beans were being crushed and mixed with fat to be eaten as a stimulant by the Oromo tribe.

But once they arrived in Arabia “coffee” was born. It was written about as a brewed beverage for the first time by Arab scholars who said it helped them prolong their work hours. From there coffee spread around the world.

If coffee beans were brewed into a delicious beverage for the first time in Arabia, it’s easy to see why it’s called arabica coffee, and why it’s also known as Arabian coffee.

What does arabica coffee taste like?

High quality arabica coffee should have a slightly sweet flavor, with hints of chocolate, nuts, and caramel. You may also notice hints for fruit and berries. There will be a slight/pleasant acidity, and a little bitterness. Cold brewing coffee can help bring out the sweet flavors of arabica even more.

The roast you choose will affect the degree to which you notice the flavors. The area and soil composition the beans are grown in can also affect the balance of the above flavors. Storing coffee beans properly so they stay nice and fresh is a great way to help preserve those yummy flavor notes.

Most of the coffee you see at the grocery store, market, coffee shop, and cafe – is arabica coffee. Some brands will mix arabica and robusta coffee beans, especially espresso blends. But the majority is arabica coffee.

So, all those yummy coffee drinks at your local cafe, yup, they’re probably all arabica.

How is arabica coffee grown?

The Coffea arabica, or arabica coffee plant does not like harsh climates; it likes humidity and can’t handle frost. It prefers temperatures between 15°C and 24°C (59°F and 75°F) and likes to be grown in the shade. Think: subtropical.

It’s usually grown at elevations of around 1,900+ feet (600+ meters) above sea level. It likes to be grown on hillsides and matures at about 7 years of age.

The plant grows to around 9-12 meters in the wild. When grown for commercial use, it can reach about 5 meters tall, but is usually kept at about 2 meters to help with harvesting.

The flowers are small and white, they smell like jasmine flowers, sweet and pretty.

The beans (which are actually seeds) are found inside of the berries that grow on this shrub-like plant. The berries are harvested when they are “cherry” or deep-red/dark-purple, there are usually 2 beans in each berry.

Much like blueberries, the fruit of the arabica coffee plant does not ripen at the same time, so the berries are best when picked by hand. If they are harvested before they are fully ripe the result is an inferior coffee.

When the arabica coffee beans are removed from the berries there is also a “parchment coat” and a “silver skin” that have to be removed.

Arabica vs. Robusta: 11 Differences

What’s the difference between the two heavy hitters in the world of coffee? Let’s do a little arabica vs robusta comparison.

1. Arabica has less caffeine than robusta. Arabica contains 1.5% caffeine content whereas robusta contains 2.7%. This may be a consideration for people concerned about the negative effects of too much caffeine. Arabica would be a better choice in their case. Caffeine also has a bitter flavor – which makes arabica less bitter than robusta.
2. Arabica contains more sugar than robusta. Arabica has almost twice as much sugar content as robusta. The majority of people prefer sweet over bitter flavors, this probably accounts for the difference in popularity.
3. Arabica contains more lipids than robusta. There are around 60% more lipids (fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins, hormones…) in arabica coffee.
4. Arabica flavor has higher acidity than robusta. This is much like the acidity which makes wine taste good. It adds to the fruit, chocolate and nutty flavors in arabica coffee. Robusta is lower in this quality which lends to the woody or burnt rubber flavor.
5. Arabica is more popular than robusta. Arabica makes up 60% – 75% or more of worldwide coffee production. Robusta makes up the other 40% or less.
6. Arabica has a more pleasant flavor than robusta. The flavor of arabica is described as being rich with hints of chocolate, nuts, fruit and berries. Robusta on the other hand, as tasting bitter, earthy, and rubbery.
7. Arabica is more expensive than robusta. Arabica is more difficult to cultivate because of how sensitive it is to the environment, and the fact that it produces less per hectare than robusta. It also tastes better which makes the demand higher. So it’s more expensive than robusta.
8. Arabica is more fragile than robusta. Arabica prefers a consistent climate (no harsh changes) and temps between 15 and 24 °C (59 and 75 °F) whereas robusta can handle higher temps 18°-36°C (64-97°F) and harsher changes in climate. Arabica also prefers a humid climate compared to robusta which can handle more direct sunlight and more drastic changes in rainfall. Arabica usually grows at higher elevations and takes longer to mature which adds to its full flavor. It’s also more susceptible to damage by pests than robusta.
9. Arabica beans are shaped and colored differently than robusta. The arabica bean is slightly larger with an oval shape, and the robusta is more round. The raw arabica bean is also lighter in color than the robusta bean.
10. Arabica produces less per year than robusta. Per hectare, the arabica coffee plant produces less per year than the robusta coffee plant. This makes arabica more expensive to grow than it’s opponent.
11. Arabica beans smell different than robusta. The arabica coffee bean smells a bit like blueberries before it’s roasted, the robusta smells kind of like peanuts.
