Arabica & Robusta Beans!

Different coffee beans create different flavors in the cup. While there are several species of the shrub Coffea, the plant that produces the berries from which coffee is extracted, the two most cultivated plants are the Arabica and Robusta. Of the two main species grown, Arabica coffee is more highly regarded than Robusta coffee.

The Arabica Bean – Grown in the highlands, this bean can be found at an altitude of 2,000 to 6,000 feet. The Arabica bean grows on a very delicate plant that is slow to mature. Its flavor is rich and aromatic, which carries over into the finished product. Arabica beans are sought out for their aroma and flavor. These beans are used in darker roasted blends, premium proprietary blends, flavored coffees, as well as core hot and black coffee blends.

The Robusta Bean – The lowland Robusta bean can be found at 2,000 feet. It grows at a rapid pace; has a strong, bitter taste and is not very aromatic.

This bean is much higher in caffeine than the Arabica. The Robusta bean is used to provide the full-bodied taste and high caffeine concentration in European espresso blends. It is also commonly blended with Arabica in commercial coffee blends.

All Citavo coffee blends are made from100% Arabica beans except for Citavo Special Blend, which is a combination of Arabica and Robusta beans.

The Iconic Cup Many different factors come together to make a great cup of coffee – bean origins, varieties, roast styles, and brewing techniques. All this complexity can be intimidating for customers who just want to serve a good cup of coffee. That’s why Sysco likes to cut through the complexity and talk about “iconic” cups of coffee that operators might aspire to serve.

In today’s coffee world, there are a few dominant brands that consumers identify with. These leading national brands have chosen to serve a distinct cup of coffee with specific features that coffee drinkers are drawn to. For example, a high-end coffee house brand tends to offer a full-bodied dark roast, while a major donut player prefers a medium roast with rich acidity and body. The leading QSR is serving a medium-bodied, medium-roasted breakfast blend, while your typical corner diner offers a lighter coffee that patrons can enjoy all day and with a bottomless cup quantity.

At Sysco, we match the standards of these power coffee brands with our Citavo brand coffee blends, which emulate these “iconic” coffee experiences.

Choose the experience you want to offer your customers, then selecting your Citavo blend will be simple.

See how our Citavo® brand blends match up: Theirs

4 Key Brewing Fundamentals Preparing a great cup of coffee is easy with a few brewing suggestions. Following a consistent brewing process is key; any change will affect the overall taste.

1. Coffee to Water Ratio – Typically this is referred to as the throw weight. Not enough coffee will cause over extraction, while too much coffee will cause under extraction.

2. Grind – Beans being too coarse will result in under extraction; too fine and a bitter flavor will develop from being overly extracted.

About 70% of all positive coffee flavorings are extracted in the first third of the brewing process.

3. Contact Time – The amount of time the water is in contact

Brewing Tip: Don’t take a cup of coffee from the pot until it’s done brewing.

Removing the cup will interrupt the balance of the brew and will affect the taste of the remaining coffee in the pot.

with the coffee will affect the taste of the brew. Be careful with this step. If the water is in contact for too short of a time it will cause under extraction, too long and it will lead to over extraction.

4. Water Temperature – The ideal brewing temperature is between 95 and 205 degrees. Water that’s too cold will lead to under extraction, and water that’s too hot will lead to over extraction.

According to the National Coffee Association’s 2012 National Coffee Drinking Trends study, coffee consumption has been steadily increasing, up more than 17% over the past two years.

Cream for Your Cup For many coffee lovers, cream isn’t just a garnish, it’s a necessity. Having a quality choice of cream can complete the coffee experience. Dean Morningstar brings you sweet cream selections from International Delight.

Unflavored International Delight Half & Half cream is the preferred choice among consumers. Made with real dairy, this cream is specifically packaged to offer a 60-day guaranteed shelf life; it’s also kosher-certified. International Delight offers a non-dairy unflavored cream as well.

Flavored Allow your customers to choose from an assortment of flavors to create a customized, gourmet cup of coffee in seconds. International Delight has their Flavored Favorites including French vanilla, amaretto, and chocolate cream.

The gourmet varieties in International Delight’s Coffeehouse Inspirations include white chocolate mocha and caramel macchiato.

Single Serving or Bulk Dispenser?

Each option has its own benefits. Single serving is a simple way to offer customization of coffee while saving money. Single serving also allows you to focus on creamer variety, instead of offering a variety of coffee roasts. There’s no need to refrigerate, making it perfect for easy, back-of-the-house storage. Bulk cream dispensers are more cost-effective for high-volume operations, making them an ideal choice for operators selling over 100 cups a day. The dispensers are designed to handle heavy use, but are easy to set up and operate.

Bulk dispensers require minimal cleaning and offer labor savings when compared to refilling carafes.

Hot Tea Basics According to an ancient Chinese legend dating back to 2737 B.C., hot tea was first discovered by accident. While hot tea has been a popular beveragee for centuries, the tea bag wasn’t invented until 1908 when a New York importer named Thomas Sullivan thought that shipping tea in silk bags rather than large tins would be easier for his retailers. Tea bags then becamee a successful choice for steeping in addition to being a space-saver.

Sysco offers House Recipe tea bags for premium black, decaffeinated black, green tea, and darjeeling blend teas. Our teas require different steeping times to help bring out their full flavor. > 3-5 minutes for black tea > 2-3 minutes for green tea

Tea Trends Tea consumption is influenced by many trends. Sysco believes consumer tea choice is most influenced by: Convenience and Taste. This is the most influential reasoning behind consumer purchases. Offering consistent high-quality products will keep customers happy, and flavor options will drive the specialty tea category.

Proactive Health Management. With increasing focus on having a balanced and healthy life, consumers are interested in tea’s valuable antioxidants.

Scientific reports claim that daily tea consumption may increase longevity.

Authenticity. Consumers continue to place more value on “real” or “pure” products and brands.

Ethnic and Exotic. These categories are of growing interest est to consumers. Exotic products offer a sense of adventure and appreciation for foreign customs and cuisines.

Health and Wellness A growing trend in the market, many consumers are drawn to the health and wellness benefits of drinking tea. Research suggests that the phytonutrients found in all types of true tea may contribute substantially to the promotion of health and the prevention of chronic diseases.

How Tea Helps Your Health Saves Arteries – Two major new health studies have found that drinking black tea helps prevent clogging of arteries. It can help reverse poor arterial functioning that can trigger heart attacks and strokes.

Inhibits Cancer Growth – Tea has long been tied to a lower risk of stomach, colon, and breast cancer, and new lab studies find that tea chemicals may help stop cancer growth.

Burns Calories – Green tea’s antioxidants stimulate the body to burn calories and fat. Studies show that the increase in burning calories is not due to the caffeine but the antioxidants.

Wipes out Viruses – Previous tests have proven that tea can neutralize germs, including some that cause diarrhea, pneumonia, cystitis and skin infections.

Decaffeinated Tea While moderate caffeine consumption is believed to have no adverse health effects, caffeine-free tea is a healthy option for those looking to avoid or limit their intake of caffeine. Decaffeinated tea is processed to remove most (about 97%) of the caffeine.

While Lion Tea uses Rooibos in caffeine-free herbal blends. Rooibos is an herbal agent that has tea-like characteristics, and a sweet-fruity flavor. It also has a list of health benefits including easing allergies, helping digestive problems like nausea and stomach cramps, calming the nerves, and soothing mild depression and headaches.

Tames Inflammation – Research has found that green tea may help with inflammation, reducing your chances of developing arthritis.
