Beans, Beans, Beans!
Buffalo & spring Coffee’s are made using only the finest Arabica beans.
There are two basic categories into which all species of coffee trees can be sorted. This division into two large categories is useful for understanding the difference between a gourmet cup of coffee and an ordinary cup. High quality blends consist of 100% Arabica beans. Lower quality, cheaper blends may have some proportion of Robusta beans, or they may consist entirely of Robusta. Arabica beans produce a superior taste in the cup, being more flavorful and complex than their Robusta counterparts. Robusta beans tend to produce a more bitter brew, with a musty flavor and less body. This distinction being made, you can see why high quality coffees should consist of 100% Arabica beans.
Arabica trees require about four to five years to produce any fruit. Arabica beans grow more slowly than Robusta but demand a higher price on the coffee commodity marker. They are more limited in terms of where they can be grown, demanding a very precise temperature range and annual rainfall. They tend to do best and produce the best bean, at higher altitudes. In fact, high altitude beans carry an extra premium because they are thought to contain more of the substances that make coffee so complexly flavorful than beans grown at lower altitudes. Perhaps this is because they grow more slowly the higher up the mountain they are planted.
Varieties of Arabica beans are grown all over the world and the different flavor characteristics produced by each growing region are distinctive. Flavor can vary within a growing region due to factors such as weather, altitude, soil type, soil richness and whether there are shade trees on the finca (or coffee plantation). In addition, a coffee’s flavor can be affected by the processing methods used to separate the beans from the fruit. It is these varietal characteristics of the Arabica bean that makes it such sought after product and many of the finer small roasters cup (that is , roast and taste) batches of coffee before purchasing it. For all of these reasons, the Arabica bean is good coffee.
