Black Sheep Coffee launches premium Robusta beans

Black Sheep Coffee has launched a single origin, premium Robusta coffee for operators looking for something a little bit different for their brew bar.

Product details:

Robusta Revival uses Robusta coffee from a single-estate in India, which is the only in the world to have received three “Fine Robusta” certifications by tasting experts.

USP:

Most premium coffee on the market uses Arabica beans, traditionally considered to be better quality. However, Robusta beans can create a high-quality coffee if grown in the right conditions and prepared properly.

Robusta coffee is rich, creamy and sweet with a less acidic tone than Arabica beans, has twice the caffeine and has greater levels of protein – helping make for a much richer crema when brewed as an espresso.

Availability:

1kg wholesale packs are priced at £14.90

Why you should buy it:

Co-founder of Black Sheep Coffee Gabe Shohet said: “We’re proud to be bringing a product to market that has such a strong point of difference and be able to introduce UK retailers, caterers and consumers to an exciting new concept in coffee, a high-grade Robusta bean.

“There are so many people out there who have been drinking coffee for years and have never had the chance to taste a 100% Robusta product. For most of our customers this is a first and I never get tired of watching their smiles as they try a completely new flavour for the first time.”
