Creation 1: Culi Robusta

When you use 1 tablespoon per cup, this is a richly flavored coffee that also provides the mellowness of an Arabica... a surprisingly broad flavor with a bit of a bite.

Personally, I like to strengthen it a bit and go for the great aromatics of this variety by using a tablespoon and a half per 8-ounce cup.

This is a great coffee to serve iced. You can pour it directly over ice and it will not taste diluted. It requires less creamer and sugar than a typical Arabica iced coffee. If you brew it extra strength for iced coffee you may find that it picks up some bitterness in the aftertaste. However, the strong initial taste and aroma may be worth it if you want a strong iced coffee.
