Our staff has fallen in love with it, and we’re sure you will too! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp until recently robusta coffees have had a bad reputation with specialty buyers, who view them as a cheap, commodity grade bean good for little more than instant coffee. And we know why: strip-picking and careless processing is encouraged to keep costs low for the primary buyers, the instant coffee and discount coffee brands.

And to that effect, Paradise founder Miguel has been supporting and collaborating with robusta growers in India, Ecuador, Vietnam, Philippines, and Thailand.
