Top Varietals for Caffeine Kick

In response, in person, by a reader of the last blog, we have a request for the top varietals with the highest level of caffeine. We can get you most of the followings, but you'll have to live with fresh roasted coffee beans...

TOP TEN BEANS BY CAFFEINE CONTENT
1. Tanzania Peaberry
2. Indian Mysore
3. Colombia Supremo
4. Colombia Excelso
5. Kenya AA
6. Costa Rica Tarrazu
7. Kona Extra Prime
8. Panama Organic
9. Guatemala Antiqua
10. New Guinea

TIP: If you want a blend with the most caffeine, then find out what type of beans comprise the blend. However, some roasters don’t like to give up all their secrets, so good luck with this little mission.

QUESTION: What is the difference between Robusta and Arabica coffee beans?
