Roasting. The process during which coffee beans are roasted.

Robusta. This species typically grows at lower elevations in countries like Africa, Indochina and Brazil. Robusta is normally dry-processed and has a small, round, yellowish bean which is more disease resistant than its arabica relative. Robusta beans originate from Zaire and are noted for their harsh, dirty flavour and abundant caffeine - twice as much caffeine, in fact, as is found in arabica beans.
