When we set out to create the world’s best CBD coffee, the choice of bean was everything. We chose 100% Arabica — and here’s why it matters for both flavour and your CBD experience.
Arabica beans account for about 60-70% of global coffee production and are widely considered the superior variety. Compared to Robusta, Arabica has roughly half the caffeine content, more sugars, and a significantly more complex flavour profile with notes of chocolate, fruit, and caramel.
The lower caffeine content of Arabica is actually a benefit when combined with CBD. Since one of CBD’s potential benefits is promoting calm and relaxation, pairing it with a gentler caffeine hit means you get a balanced experience — energised but not wired.
Arabica’s rich, full-bodied taste also works beautifully with hemp. The natural sweetness and complexity of Arabica beans complement rather than mask the subtle earthy notes of CBD, creating a harmonious flavour that coffee purists and wellness enthusiasts alike can appreciate.
At Hempresso, we source our Arabica beans from some of the world’s finest growing regions. Our Origins collection features single-origin beans from Colombia, Ethiopia, and Sumatra, while our COFFEE BLU uses the legendary Jamaican Blue Mountain variety — one of the most sought-after coffees in the world.
