COFFEE

Types of Coffee

ARABICA

Roasted

Arabica Coffee is the world market leader, accounting for more than 60% of coffee production worldwide. This success is due to its complexity of aromas and its sweeter flavor, mainly because it has 50% less caffeine than its competitor, Robusta coffee. Arabica coffee has a pure and smooth flavor, being naturally sweeter and a little acidic. Furthermore, this type of coffee is rich in health benefits. By receiving a light roast, Arabic beans are characterized by preserving the plant's antioxidants more intensely. Origin: Brazil Type: 6 Incoterm: CIF ASWP Marketing: In bulk in 60 kg bags.

ROBUST

Conilon

The Robusta variety has a more rustic appearance, with a more pronounced flavor, with great resistance to diseases and a longer maturation time than Arabica. However, Robusta coffee types represent only a quarter of global coffee production, being mostly found in the form of freeze-dried coffees and blends. Coffee selected with this type of bean has a comparatively higher concentration of caffeine than Arabica, meaning it is perfect for people who like a drink with a more bitter flavor.

GREEN

Organic

Green coffee is produced from green coffee beans that do not go through the roasting process. Therefore, it has 3 to 5 times more antioxidants than the traditional version of coffee, being “purer” and very beneficial to health.

SNAPSHOT

Soluble

As it is a more practical way of consuming coffee, instant or instant coffee is among the favorites of consumers in gigantic markets such as China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Turkey. Its flavor is milder, as it has 20% less caffeine and comes in different types, such as spray dried, agglomerated and freeze dried/lyophilized. The production of instant coffee basically involves the hydration (extraction process) and dehydration (or drying) of the beans. Until this point, the process is the same as that used to prepare fresh coffee: selection of beans, roasting and grinding. Origin: Brazil Incoterm: CIF ASWP Marketing: In bulk in 30 kg bags.
