What Makes Arabica Beans The Best?
The bean of choice in specialty coffee is always the washed Arabica. Arabica beans have more flavor, aroma and contain less caffeine than their counterparts, the Robusta.
Arabica beans are grown at higher elevations than the Robusta. The best Arabica beans grow at 3,500-7,000 feet. It is the cooler weather at these higher elevations that allows the Arabica beans longer to mature, intensifying the wonderful flavors that we seek. These beans are more expensive because the plants yield less coffee per year and are more difficult to pick at higher elevations – and because the quality of the best Arabica is unmatched.
In creating the 12 Bean Coffee, James Tarabay has hand blended 12 of the finest Arabica beans in the world. The power of 12 delivers a full flavored, smooth, rich coffee with full body and low acidity.
