The Arabica coffee plant is grown at altitudes in excess of 2800 feet above sea level. Arabica coffee beans are generally greenish with a round back and a flat surface. Arabica coffee is generally mild with more flavor and aroma than Robusta coffee. Robusta is characterized by small and round beans. Robusta coffee has a stronger taste than Arabica coffee, but lacks the fine aroma and flavor that characterizes Arabica coffee. Another difference between the two types of coffee is that Robust coffee has a higher caffeine content than Arabica coffee. Robusta coffee is used mainly in mass produced commercial coffees.
