3 Green Beans
In these articles, we give you the background on what beans go into your coffee.
Arabica is the quality coffee bean. Within Arabica, there
are good beans and then there are GOOD beans. Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain are recognised as the pick of the bunch.
Robusta is the hardier, but less flavoured bean.
Kona is a variety of the Arabica species that has made
a name for itself. Grown only in Hawaii this is arguably the best in the world.
