Robusta

Origin & Heritage

Sourced from the fertile coastal plains and plateaus of Madagascar, our Robusta beans thrive in a unique microclimate. The island’s rich, volcanic soil, combined with traditional farming methods passed down through generations, creates a distinct and powerful coffee profile. These beans are handpicked by local farmers, supporting sustainable communities and preserving the ecological balance of this biodiverse region.

Taste Profile

Kanto Robusta is for those who seek intensity and depth.

· Aroma: Earthy and woody, with subtle notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
· Flavor: A bold, full-bodied experience. Dominant flavors of dark cocoa, toasted grains, and a touch of spicy pepper. It has a characteristically smooth, deep richness with low acidity.
· Mouthfeel: Heavy-bodied, creamy, and lingering. Leaves a pronounced, satisfying finish.
· Signature Character: Known for its strong, caffeine-packed punch and exceptional crema, making it the undisputed backbone of a classic, powerful espresso.

Roast Level

Dark Roast. We roast these beans to a deep, glossy brown to fully develop their bold, smoky characteristics and minimize bitterness, unlocking their maximum body and caffeine potential.

Perfect For

· Espresso Connoisseurs: The high crema production and intense body form the perfect foundation for standalone espresso and milk-based drinks.
· Blending: An excellent component for blending with Arabica beans to add depth, body, and a caffeine boost to any blend.
· Strong Brew Lovers: Ideal for French press, Moka pot, or any method where a robust, unapologetic coffee flavor is desired.
· The Modern Energist: With nearly double the caffeine of typical Arabica beans, it’s the ultimate natural fuel for a focused start or a sustained boost.

Brewing Suggestions

· Espresso: Use a fine grind. 18-20g dose for a 30-40ml output. Expect a thick, tiger-striped crema and a powerful shot.
· French Press: Use a coarse grind. Steep for 4-5 minutes for a full immersion into its bold, textured flavors.
· Moka Pot: A medium-fine grind will produce a strong, concentrated brew that highlights its earthy and chocolatey notes.

Sustainability & Ethics

Our partnership with cooperatives in Madagascar ensures:

· Fair Compensation: Direct trade practices that provide fair wages to farming families.
· Environmental Care: Support for shade-grown and agroforestry practices that protect Madagascar’s unique wildlife.
· Quality Preservation: Commitment to traditional, chemical-free cultivation methods that honor the land and the bean.
