Curious anyone else here has much experience between these two species of coffee beans. Most coffee is Arabica due to the flavor, but Robusta beans have higher caffeine and antioxidants. It’s what’s added to espresso blends to give some extra strength.
The downside is the beans don’t taste quite as good, often found as medium or dark roast to roast off some of the less pleasant flavors.
Robusta is the bean used in Vietnamese coffee.
My experience with it so far is the coffee experience is much stronger and clear headed similar to White Bean Coffee in effects.
I just got a bag and will report back once I’ve made my own cup a few times. At this moment I’ve only bought it as Vietnamese coffee which has sweetener and condensed milk added.
