Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) holds a significant position in the global coffee industry, but its coffee profile might differ from what you expect. Côte d’Ivoire is primarily a Robusta coffee producer. Robusta beans make up over 90% of the country’s coffee production. Compared to Robusta from other regions, Ivorian Robusta may have a slightly milder bitterness. There’s a very small presence of Arabica coffee grown in Côte d’Ivoire as well.
