Fine Robusta

What is Fine Robusta?

While Arabica has long been considered the star of Specialty Coffee, Fine Robusta is gradually emerging as an exciting new player. Fine Robusta refers to Robusta coffee grown, cared for, and processed according to the strict standards of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), scoring 80 points or higher in cupping.

This means that Robusta, known for its high caffeine content and full body, now also delivers clean, balanced flavor with a naturally sweet aftertaste—something rarely found in commercial Robusta.

Why Do Young Consumers & Baristas Choose Fine Robusta?

Unique Flavor

Fine Robusta stands out with a bold, rich flavor reminiscent of chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and hints of dried fruit. For Vietnamese drip coffee lovers, it feels familiar yet more refined; for Specialty Coffee enthusiasts, Fine Robusta offers a completely new experience compared to the bright acidity of Arabica.

High Caffeine with Sweet Aftertaste

Young coffee drinkers seek a brew that is energizing yet easy to drink. Fine Robusta meets both needs: high caffeine content without harsh bitterness, combined with a smooth, clean sweet finish.

Optimized for Specialty Cafés & Baristas

Specialty cafés are increasingly featuring Fine Robusta on their menus—not only for its distinct flavor but also for the unique value it brings. When used in espresso, Fine Robusta produces thick, long-lasting crema, creating a visually appealing cup. It also blends well with Arabica, producing balanced, complex espresso blends. Importantly, using Fine Robusta gives cafés a new story to share with customers, distinguishing them in a crowded coffee market.

How to brew Fine Robusta

Espresso Blend

• Common ratio: 30–50% Fine Robusta + 50–70% Arabica.

• Result: Thick-crema espresso, balanced flavor, low acidity; ideal for straight shots or cappuccino/latte.

Cold Brew

• Cold steeping (12–18h) brings out chocolate and caramel notes, low acidity, and easy drinkability.

• Often leaves a sweet, lingering aftertaste.

Vietnamese Drip Coffee

• Keeps full body and bold flavor with a clean finish

• Perfect for iced milk coffee (cà phê sữa đá), the national favorite, but in an upgraded specialty version

Fine Robusta – The New Specialty Coffee Trend

Fine Robusta is more than just a coffee bean; it represents Vietnam’s transformation from bulk commodity to recognized specialty product. With distinct flavor, sustainable value, and strong export potential, Fine Robusta is set to appear more frequently on Specialty Café menus and in the morning cups of discerning coffee lovers worldwide.
