EAST JAVA ROBUSTA (Large Bean)
Large Bean Robusta: A Unique Variety of Robusta Coffee
Large Bean Robusta is a variety of Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) with larger bean sizes compared to regular Robusta. This coffee is typically grown at an altitude of 200–800 meters above sea level (masl) and has distinctive characteristics that set it apart from Arabica coffee.
Key Characteristics of Large Bean Robusta:
✔ Larger bean size than regular Robusta
✔ High caffeine content (about 2–3 times higher than Arabica)
✔ Stronger and more bitter taste, with a thicker body
✔ Earthy and slightly nutty aroma, sometimes with hints of chocolate or spices
✔ More resistant to pests and diseases, making it easier to cultivate
Due to its strong nature and high caffeine content, Large Bean Robusta is commonly used in espresso blends, instant coffee, or traditional Indonesian “kopi tubruk.”
