Robusta Coffee: The Bold Essence of Ghana
Bold and full-bodied, Fortüne Coffee offers a premium Robusta coffee that is strong and robust and sourced sustainably from local farmers in the Volta Region of Ghana. Our Robusta is known for its earthy notes with nutty undertones, complemented by a pleasant bitterness that adds depth to each cup, making it perfect for those who enjoy a powerful brew.
Originating in Central and West Africa, Robusta coffee is celebrated for its bold and strong flavour. Introduced to Ghana in the mid-18th century, Robusta is primarily farmed by smallholders in the Ashanti, Bono, Eastern, Western, and Volta Regions. Robusta cultivation is meticulous, with farmers handpicking the cherries at their peak ripeness and ensuring only the finest beans are selected for processing. This dedication to quality results in a coffee that honours Ghana’s unique terroir and the hardworking farmers behind it.
With over 45 variants, Robusta coffee has the highest caffeine content, ranging from 2% to 4%, and low acidity. It delivers a potent kick that coffee enthusiasts crave. According to the International Coffee Organisation, Robustsa coffee accounted for 42.6% of global coffee production in 2023.
At Fortüne Coffee, we believe every cup tells a story. Our fully-bodied Robusta coffee embodies the passion of the farmers who cultivate it and the rich cultural heritage of their communities. In coffee farming communities like Ziavi in the Volta region, coffee is more than just a drink; it’s an integral part of daily life and community. Sharing a cup of Robusta fosters connection and strengthens bonds, making every sip a celebration of culture and camaraderie. By choosing our Robusta, you are supporting local farmers and helping to preserve Ghana’s rich coffee heritage.
We invite you to indulge in its bold flavours and savour the journey it represents—from the heart of Ghana to your cup. Join us in celebrating the art of coffee, where each sip connects you with the vibrant spirit of Ghana.
