Choosing an Arabica–Robusta Blend Ratio for Milk Coffee

At Jam Kopi, our blends have codes like A30-R70%. It simply means 30% arabica and 70% robusta.

How to read the code - A = percentage of arabica - R = percentage of robusta - N (on the premium blend) = percentage of natural-process arabica

How the ratio changes the taste - More robusta (A20-R80, A30-R70): strong, boldly bitter, heavy body. Still packs a punch with lots of milk and palm sugar — ideal for trendy iced milk coffee. - Balanced (A40-R60, A50-R50): bitterness and acidity in balance, with aroma starting to shine. A safe pick for everyday espresso and cappuccino. - More arabica (A70-R30, A80-R20): more aromatic and softer, with more noticeable acidity. Great for lattes or drinking black.

Tips for cafés 1. Decide on your signature drink first: iced milk coffee, latte or black coffee. 2. Try 2–3 ratios in 250g bags before buying in bulk. 3. Write down your brew ratio so the taste stays consistent.
