Arabica coffee beans are one of the two main types of coffee beans, the other being Robusta. They are known for their smooth, mild flavor and aromatic qualities, making them a popular choice among coffee drinkers. Grown primarily in high-altitude regions, Arabica beans thrive in cooler climates, which contribute to their unique taste profile. These beans account for about 60-70% of the world's coffee production. Arabica plants are more delicate and require specific growing conditions, including rich soil and ample rainfall. This sensitivity makes them more expensive to produce compared to Robusta beans, which are hardier and yield more coffee per plant.
