ROBUSTA ROCKS #YesWeCanEphora

 

I 💓 Robusta, and so:

⬜  do
⬜  could
⬜  should
(tick where applicable)

YOU !

Well anyway, read and see for -and hopefully convince- yourself here below, where I gathered and compiled a whole bunch of fine (Fine!) Robusta links to texts, audios and videos, with lots of opinions, deliberations and PRAISE!



🎵 We've come a long, long way together
    Through the hard times and the good
    I have to celebrate you, baby
    I have to praise you like I should ðŸŽµ
    (Norman Cook, 1998)

  • Fine robusta has become the subject of increasing focus in recent years
  • Some fine robustas sell for little more than a commodity arabica coffee
  • It could threaten the future of Central American production – but there are barriers in the way
               



"Robusta will continue its march into the West. The quality and availability of traceable canephoras will capture the imaginations of forward-thinking coffee companies, curious coffee drinkers, and folks who had historically stuck with “low brow” consumption. This will reach what I think is a good sized market of those “left behind” by the light, bright, and fruity coffee wave of the past decade-plus.”
