Specialty coffee is all about the beans from the Arabica coffee plant which are complex and varied in flavour. But there is another coffee species called Robusta, widely used in cheap, high volume coffee products, which is potentially more resilient than Arabica to the threats posed to coffee production by global climate change. As the future of coffee may well lie with Robusta this episode takes a deep dive into its current situation - where it grows, what it tastes like and in this week’s FACQ, what your options are for tracking down Robusta coffee to try for yourself.
