The beans of robusta coffee are almost round, resembling an egg shape. Robusta trees yield a higher quantity of cherries per tree per season compared to other varieties. | The beans of robusta coffee are almost round, resembling an egg shape.

Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is highly esteemed for its exceptional flavor complexity, delicate acidity, and enticing aroma. In the Philippines, it thrives in elevated regions such as the Cordillera region and other mountainous areas. Arabica beans boast an extensive range of flavor profiles, encompassing fruity notes, floral undertones, and delightful hints of caramel and chocolate. However, cultivating Arabica coffee presents unique challenges due to its preference for cooler climates and specific growing conditions. The sensitivity of Arabica to heat necessitates its cultivation at higher altitudes, where the lower temperatures provide an ideal environment for its optimal growth. Despite the additional effort and care required, Arabica coffee's superior quality and nuanced flavors make it highly sought after by discerning coffee enthusiasts. | Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is highly esteemed for its exceptional flavor complexity, delicate acidity, and enticing aroma. Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) generally has the smallest cherries. The cherries are typically smaller in size compared to the cherries of Excelsa, Robusta, and Liberica. Arabica cherries typically measure about 1 to 1.5 centimeters (0.4 to 0.6 inches) in length. They are often oval-shaped and slightly smaller than other coffee cherries. | ||

Arabica coffee is highly regarded for its affinity for high-altitude growing conditions and its ability to self-pollinate. In contrast to robusta, it offers a milder taste, with reduced bitterness and lower caffeine content. Arabica trees have a remarkable height potential, often growing tall and lanky, reaching lanky heights of 30 to 40 feet. To facilitate more convenient cherry picking, plantations commonly prune the trees to manageable heights. | Arabica coffee is highly regarded for its affinity for high-altitude growing conditions and its ability to self-pollinate.
