Arabica and Robusta

Around the office the words Arabica and Robusta were freely being banded about. What are these I thought to myself. So far I have established that there are two types of coffee beans out there. The question is what is the difference between the two.....??

I am just a coffee novice

So as you have seen I have now started working in the Coffee Business the only thing is I am a novice. So the first thing I decided to do was write a blog about coffee where I and all you other people out there can put together a coffee resource for all us budding coffee enthusiasts for the future, thus fast tracking a knowledge base and leaving our mark on the world of coffee and the promotion of its use.
