When it comes to the most intensely loved beverages in the world, hardly anything comes close to coffee. Their fragrance has the power to intoxicate us with a single whiff. The prevalence of these beverages is such that there are not a few but a lot of varieties for you to choose from. While you may have become an expert at ordering your perfect cup of coffee from your favourite cafes, we bet there is still a long way to go before you can make your coffee from scratch. So here we are to take you through coffee beans and all that you need to know before buying them. By the end of it, you will be a pro, for sure. *No, it’s not difficult*
Pick Your Desired Type Of Coffee Beans
The first step to buying the right coffee beans for you is to know them. People are often split between Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, the most popular kinds to know about. To compare them broadly, you must know that Arabica coffee beans have mildly tart undertones with hints of fruity notes. On the other hand, Robusta coffee beans are comparatively more bitter and have a striking flavour.
Mostly, the growing and harvesting conditions of these coffee beans largely affect their distinct features. Hence, it makes sense that coffee produced in different countries will have diverse flavours. Climate conditions like rainfall and soil density can have a great impact on your cup of coffee too.

Settle On The Level Of Roast You Like
The actual flavour of coffee comes once the green, harvested beans are roasted. Naturally, there are different roast levels as well. From light roasts to dark ones, everyone has different preferences, and you need to know what you like. If you like your coffee smooth and subtle, a light roast is your choice. However, if you love your drinks bitter and bold, go for dark roast beans.
Well, the way your coffee is brewed will also affect the taste a bit. But mostly, it revolves around the kind of coffee beans you choose. Before you stick to your favourite kind of coffee beans, you can always make the selection process more fun by trying everything there is to try.
So, are you ready to be caffeinated?
