Robusta
When grown properly, robusta is an incredibly diverse bean—each region produces robusta with different qualities, indicating the importance of terroir in coffee farming. The highest quality of these is grow in the central highlands, where increased elevation yields more nuanced flavors. Robusta beans have a higher amount of caffeine than arabica, but contain 60% less sugar and fats. Tasting notes might include: chocolate-y, nutty, and earthy.
Arabica
Encompassing a broad category of species that include Bourbon, Typica, and Catimor, arabica is generally a bit tougher to grow than robusta. The bulk of arabica produced in Vietnam is of the Catimor variety, which is a hybrid of the arabica and arabica-robusta species. General tasting notes might include: fruity, citrusy, and light.
Found in the Cau Dat district of Da Lat in Lam Dong Province, Typica and Bourbon are premium categories of Arabica introduced by Europeans in the 80s. They’ve largely disappeared as farmers favored more high-yield varieties like Catimor, but with a new craft coffee movement taking over Vietnam, some are looking to bring them back.
