About Coffea robusta
Coffea robusta is a type of coffee plant whose harvested seeds are commonly known as robusta coffee beans. The seeds are typically roasted and ground for brewing; the unroasted beans are hard and pale, while roasting makes them brown and develops coffee’s familiar aroma and bitter, roasted flavour.
Robusta coffee is used in brewed coffee and soluble coffee products, either on its own or in blends. The beans are sold green, roasted whole, or ground, and the cup character varies with origin, roast, and preparation.
