   Rare coffee bean excelsa might take the place of arabica, robusta ☕

   Excelsa bean coffee tastes sweet — unlike robusta — with notes of chocolate, dark fruits & hazelnut. It’s more similar to arabica, but generally less bitter & may have less body.

   The tree’s deep roots, thick leathery leaves & big trunk allow it to thrive in extreme conditions such as drought & heat where other coffees cannot. It’s also resistant to many common coffee pests & diseases.

     As warming climate hammers coffee crops, South Sudan tests a tougher species ☕🌍

     As Earth's warming climate causes problems for big coffee producers, some are looking to a rarely cultivated species that may stand up better to drought and heat. It's Excelsa, which is native to South Sudan and a handful of other African countries.
