Robusta coffee (Latin name Coffea canephora or Coffea robusta) is a descendant of several coffee species, especially Coffea canephora. This type of coffee grows well at an altitude of 400-700 m above sea level, a temperature of 21-24 C with 3-4 dry months in a row and 3-4 times of rain.

Coffea robusta represents 43% of global coffee production, with Coffea arabica constituting most of the remainder. There are several differences between the composition of coffee beans from C. arabica and C. robusta. Beans from C. robusta tend to have lower acidity, more bitterness, and a more woody and less fruity flavor compared to C. arabica beans.
