With the #climate going the way it's going, alternatives to arabica #coffee are gonna become important sooner or later, and today I finally got around to trying some decently prepared #robusta beans. So for anybody else who's been wondering, I found them to be quite respectable; not exactly a complex profile, but highly drinkable, and probably more than adequate for anyone who isn't drinking black or cappuccino.

Beans were the medium roast "truegrit" from Nguyen Coffee, prepared via moka pot.

(supplemental: #yaupon tea was also quite good, though alternatives to camellia tea are less critical since it's already pretty hardy)
