Why Thai Fine Robusta?
Unlike commercial Arabica, which typically features a light body and bright acidity, our Anaerobic Fine Robusta from Chumphon delivers a completely different experience. Here is what sets our estate beans apart:
• Body & Crema: Expect a full, syrupy, and velvety body. While typical Arabica crema often dissolves quickly, our beans produce a thick, rich, and long-lasting crema that espresso lovers crave.
• Acidity & Flavor: We replace the sharp, high acidity of commercial coffee with a low, smooth, and sweet profile. The tasting notes shift from delicate florals to deep dark chocolate, warm spices, and vibrant tropical fruit.
• The Caffeine Kick: Offering around 2.7% caffeine compared to Arabica's 1.5%, our Fine Robusta provides the perfect, sustained morning energy to start your day.
Brewing Guide & Tips
• The Golden Rule: Drop your water temperature slightly to 88°C - 90°C (190°F - 194°F) to avoid bitterness and highlight the sweet, complex notes.
• Manual Espresso: Use a 1:2 ratio. Prepare for a massive, tiger-striped crema that holds up beautifully in milk-based drinks like Lattes or Dirty Coffee.
• Pour-Over (Filter): Use a slightly coarser grind. We recommend a 1:14 or 1:15 ratio to enjoy a clean cup with surprising tropical fruit and chocolate notes.
