I noticed your trees are 60% Robusta and wanted to address the suggestions about targeting boutique coffee houses and higher-end customers: I doubt very much Robusta will be sought after.
My understanding is that market for Robusta may be only for instant coffee production or to adulterate Arabica to make cheaper. I've only rarely seen Robusta sold green and there's good reason for that: it's distinctly unpleasant by itself.
- denton-scratch 4y agoRobusta seems to be favoured for making espresso. I think robusta is not as "unpleasant" as it used to be, say 20 years ago.
- tsingy 4y agoThis is the first thing I will do if I can manage things at an ok level. I'll switch to produce speciality coffee (Bourbon and Arabica Elita), and focus on that. Still if robusta can sold I will still take care of it.
- dranudin 4y agoI prefer my espresso if it is at least in part robusta. I think most espresso drinkers feel that way, so there should be at least some demand for it.
