Is 100% Arabica Coffee a Guarantee of Quality?

Arabica and Robusta: The Main Coffee Varieties

There are many types of coffee plants, but the two most popular are Arabica and Robusta. Each has its own history, flavor, and cultivation method, which directly impacts the quality of your cup of coffee.

☕ Robusta Coffee

  • Grows at low altitudes (200-800m) in warm, humid climates.
  • High caffeine content as protection against pests → very bitter and strong flavor.
  • Robust, fast-growing, high-yield → mostly used for commercial and instant coffee.
The high caffeine content gives Robusta an earthy, heavy body.

🌿 Arabica Coffee

  • Grows at higher altitudes (800-2000m) → more complex flavors develop.
  • Fine acidity, floral, fruity, or chocolatey notes.
  • More delicate, lower yields, susceptible to disease → requires careful cultivation.
100% Arabica on the packaging ≠ guarantee of quality.

Quality Control & Specialty Coffee

From farm to cup, each bean is carefully grown, harvested, and processed to preserve its natural characteristics. At Patagonico, the focus is on quality and traceability.

  • Farmers are trained to pick only ripe cherries.
  • Green or overripe cherries lead to bitter flavors.
  • Each batch is carefully processed to ensure the highest quality.
