☕ Arabica vs Robusta: What’s the Difference in Vietnamese Coffee?
If you’ve ever looked into buying coffee, you’ve probably come across two names: Arabica and Robusta. But what’s the real difference between them? And more importantly—which one is right for you?
Let’s break it down in simple terms, so you can choose the perfect cup for your taste.
🌱 1. Arabica – Smooth, mild, and a little fruity
Arabica beans are typically grown in cooler highlands, like the Cau Dat region of Vietnam. The result? A smooth, clean flavor that’s easy to drink.
-
Flavor: light, floral, sometimes with fruity or chocolatey notes
-
Caffeine: lower (~1–1.5%)
-
Best for: people who enjoy a mellow, smooth cup
At Tarmo, our Solar Sip blend is perfect for Arabica lovers looking for a gentle start to the day.
💪 2. Robusta – Strong, bold, and powerful
Robusta beans grow well in the hotter lowlands of Vietnam. They’re tougher, more resilient—and their taste packs a punch.
-
Flavor: bold, earthy, bitter with dark chocolate notes
-
Caffeine: higher (~2–2.5%)
-
Best for: those who want a strong, energizing coffee
Our Warm Up blend is 100% Robusta. It’s rich, full-bodied, and made for people who love their coffee bold and powerful.
🔄 3. Which one should you choose?
