Some roasters believe that a good Indian Robusta can impart certain characteristics to the cup that cannot be achieved singly with Indian mild Arabicas. A well-crafted blend of Indian Arabica and premium Robusta will have a superior flavor and richness and will confer significantly enhanced value to the roaster. Robustas compliment Arabicas beautifully! Robusta coffees confer a strong and decisive character to the flavour of the blend, whereas Arabica coffees produce sweeter scented blends, exhibiting fine aromas and taste. High quality Indian Robustas have long been a staple for Italian espresso makers and as we all know Italian espresso is the standard from which all others are judged. Due mainly to the specialty coffee market being exposed to inferior Robustas from other areas of the world, the Arabica coffee became the almost exclusive coffee of choice. At Tariero we belive that a great Robusta coffee has much to offer and will change the thinking of specialty coffee roasters as well as the consumer. Premium Indian Robusta coffee when utilized in a creative way will provide body and taste characteristics that are missing in many Arabicas and also offer financial values at the same time. Tariero Robustas receive their high rating in part because they are grown and processed in an identical manner as our Arabicas. The independent estates that we procure our coffees from grow their Arabicas and Robustas side by side. Robsutas are not the step -sister!
