Let's start with Arabica. This bean is often considered the crème de la crème of the coffee world, known for its delicate, complex flavors and smooth, almost sweet finish. Harvester Coffee sources their Arabica beans from the lush, high-altitude regions of variety of countries allocated in the tropical belt, where the perfect growing conditions allow these treasures to thrive.

Next up, we have the hardy Robusta. Often seen as the underdog of the coffee world, Robusta beans are actually prized for their higher caffeine content and more robust, earthy flavor profile. While they may not have the same delicate nuances as Arabica, Robusta beans are a popular choice for those seeking a bold, invigorating cup of coffee.

But the coffee world doesn't stop there. Liberica and Excelsa are two lesser-known varieties that deserve their time in the spotlight. Liberica beans, hailing from Southeast Asia, are known for their unique, almost floral aroma and full-bodied taste. Excelsa, on the other hand, is a rare and elusive bean that boasts a complex, almost wine-like flavor with hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit.

Each bean has its own distinct personality, and we at Harvester Coffee. Thrive to understand them better and to bring out the best in each one.
