Fuel Your Journey, Rise Beyond—With the Right Buzz
If you love bold, intense coffee that hits with energy and flavor, chances are you've met Robusta. At UPON 91, our coffee is crafted from 100% Robusta beans from Daklak, Vietnam—a region known for producing some of the most caffeine-rich beans in the world.
But how much caffeine are we actually talking about?
Robusta vs. Arabica: The Caffeine Showdown
| Coffee Type | Caffeine Content (per 100g beans) |
|---|
| Arabica | 1.2% – 1.5% |
| Robusta | 2.2% – 2.7% |
That means Robusta can have nearly twice the caffeine of Arabica.
Daklak’s nutrient-rich volcanic soil, cool climate, and expert farming practices amplify the bean's strength, making Daklak Robusta especially potent. This extra jolt of caffeine also gives Robusta its famously bitter, earthy flavor—ideal for espresso lovers and strong brews.
What Does That Mean for Your Daily Cup?
Let’s break it down:
A typical 8oz cup of Arabica coffee has ~95mg of caffeine
A similar cup made with Robusta can contain 150–200mg
If you’re drinking Espresso 91, you’re getting:
More energy, less volume: Perfect for early mornings or intense workdays
A thicker crema: Caffeine and natural oils in Robusta enhance the espresso shot
A bolder, fuller body with less acidity
Is More Caffeine Always Better?
Not always. Here's when high-caffeine coffee works best:
Morning fuel: Get up and go, fast.
Pre-workout boost: Caffeine enhances performance and focus.
Late nights? Maybe not—unless you’re pulling an all-nighter.
For those who are caffeine-sensitive, our Signature Heritage blend may be a smoother choice.
UPON 91 Tip: Listen to Your Body
Coffee should elevate your day, not overstimulate it. Start with one cup of UPON 91, see how it feels—and let your journey rise from there.
