Arabica

Arabica coffee is the superior grade of coffee that most people usually refer to as gourmet coffee. They contain about half of the caffeine of robusta and have more desirable flavors and aromatic properties.
Much of the coffee grown world wide is of the arabica species, but only a fraction meets standard set by the Specialty Coffee Association of America.
Many retailers like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks use 100% Arabica beans because of the flavor and grade.
